Nursing Homes/Living CentersMcAuley Place Living Center
Here to Help You Choosing a nursing home is one of life’s most difficult decisions. You want to be sure you’re doing the right thing, and know that the place you select provides the quality of care you want. That’s why so many families choose a Mercy Health Partners Living Center. The Living Centers are sponsored by Trinity Continuing Care Services and are designed for the comfort, support and security of our residents. Our professionals provide services that meet the highest standards of quality. And our care reflects concern for the independence and dignity of every person who seeks our help. A Long Tradition of Caring for the Total Person You will find that we are different. The Sisters of Mercy trace their roots back to their foundress in Ireland, Catherine McAuley. Catherine was a deeply religious, but very practical woman. She knew that the total person must be served, and that included all of their physical and spiritual needs. Mercy Health Partners carries that tradition forward to the present day. Planning Together to Meet Your Needs We like to begin with a partnership that evaluates your needs and brings you the services you need without generating unnecessary and unwanted expenses. We’ll discuss options and solutions with you, then assist with arrangements. Access to an Integrated Delivery Network The network of services we provide is called an Integrated Delivery Network. Unlike any other provider of services, we will arrange care that serves your needs, not ours. Since we manage a full array of health care organizations, we can easily arrange and implement a care plan that meets your needs in an environment as familiar as possible. Encouraging Independence Being able to live independently brings a sense of self-worth and dignity. During your stay with us you will notice that we work very hard to cure your ills and/or give you the tools and training to return to a more independent living situation. Close to Home We’ve been a part of your community for years, providing healthcare services for every age and stage of life, including later years. You can rely on Mercy Health Partners for high quality care, from physicians and nurses you know. If you or a loved one will be coming directly to the Living Center after a hospital discharge, we’ll consult with hospital personnel, including your physician, to make sure that the transition is smooth. Caring for Individuals In long-term care, as in all our services, the individual is our focus. We recognize that each person has unique needs. They are not only medical needs, but emotional and spiritual as well. Our care plans place heavy emphasis on rehabilitation. Once you enter our system, we will set goals for improvement in your abilities to function independently. Outstanding Professional Staff Only persons sincerely interested in working with older adults are employed at the Living Centers. Our staff members are carefully selected and continuously trained in their specialties. We draw on the talents of all caregivers—physicians, nurses, aides, counselors—to ensure that individual emotional and physical needs are attended to. Physician Involvement Personal relationships are fundamental to our care. Each resident has his or her own physician who works with our professional staff to develop and carry out individual care plans. Physicians consult regularly with family members. Mercy Health Partners has thousands of physicians, so when specialized knowledge is needed, it’s usually available. Family Involvement and Support We understand the deep concern that families have about entrusting their loved one to the care of others. At the Living Centers, we’ve established support groups to help family members through difficult times. Shared experiences with other families offer reassurance and strength that’s not available elsewhere.
