As the Long Term Facility and Hospital close, MPTF’s Community Care Teams are working with the people being relocated to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. The same doctors, nurses, social workers, volunteers, and others who have been caring for these patients will continue the care if the patients and their families so desire.
These dedicated MPTF personnel who make up the Community Care Teams box up, move, unpack, help settle those who are moving to the facilities we are working within the southern California area. There is never a doubt that we are well involved with the patient.
An unexpected benefit of our expansion into different facilities is the discovery of other entertainment industry veterans who are the new “neightbors” of the folks we’re helping to move in. Our Teams are working to include these newfound friends in the activities we’re bringing to these facilities.
Take a minute to listen to Linda Healy, Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, and Sue Schubert, Director of Volunteers and Recreation talk about how the Community Care Teams help make the transition a little bit easier for everyone.
MPTF. Sometimes the “F” stands for “Family”…
