Model of medical care/Physician organization
There is a core group of physicians who may be assigned to newly admitted residents living in Broadmead Care Homes. We can assist by arranging for the transfer of medical care to one of the core group physicians.
Residents are assigned to a physician who cares for a number of people at Beckley Farm Lodge, attends on a regular basis, coordinates care with other core physicians, and works closely with care staff, under the supervision of Broadmead Care’s Medical Director.
Our Medical Director oversees the quality of medical care at all Broadmead Care Homes and collaborates with Beckley Farm Lodge’s Medical Coordinator to initiate quality improvement programs such as regular medication reviews and medication optimization.
