PATH ALONG Includes ADLs

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model is unique with identifying the patients needs related to the activities of daily living during the hospital stay.  Accomodating the individual's needs for the approaching transition includes a referral to a supportive (www.homecarepath.com) care agency. 

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model would involve staff who could assist the person with the (ADL's) activities of daily living as the need presents itself.  ADL's include:

Dressing
Eating
Ambulation
Toileting
Hygeine

Help for these basic needs may be required for a few days, to ongoing for months.  An important part of attending to (discharge process)  the inpatients transition to outpatient release is understanding how these basic needs will be completed daily.

Family and social services are challenged to determine actual need with these (ADL's) very private aspects of an individual's daily life experiences.  The private nature of these tasks can prevent the individual from seeking the help they will need. 

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model helps seniors during the hospital stay and with outpatient treatment visits.  PATH ALONG is a strong arm of Home Care Path a community based organization commited to performing a service that supports the changing needs of an aging population.  You are cordially invited to down load your free PATH ALONG App today
