Continuum of Care

For over two decades, Broadmead has proven itself to be a provider of excellent health care. As a continuing care retirement community, we offer our residents an on-site fully staffed outpatient clinic, assisted living and comprehensive nursing care. "Cluster care" is available for those times when a resident may need a house call. This all-inclusive program will give you peace of mind that your future needs have been well planned for. So comprehensive is our program, that many area physicians, including our own retired Medical Director, have chosen to live at Broadmead.

Wellness Program

Preventive care is designed to help residents stay well and remain independent for as long as possible. Broadmead's philosophy of health care is based on the concept of a partnership between residents and staff to assure both the optimal level of health care services and the independent functioning of residents. The on-site clinic and the wellness department work hand-in-hand to enable residents to maintain their health and to prevent injuries.

Directed by professional staff, the Wellness Program is the first step in maintaining long-term health. The staff facilitates activities and helps residents develop individual fitness programs designed to meet their specific goals. It works in tandem with our rehabilitation therapy programs and residents to provide balanced fitness programs for all.

In addition, the indoor swimming pool, fully-equipped fitness room, walking trails, and an array of exercise classes and community activities keep Broadmead residents young at heart. Annual events such as National Senior Health and Fitness Day, Nature Trail Day, and "Heels, Wheel, and Aqua Seals" are collaborative efforts between staff and residents that encourage fitness, fun and fellowship.

Health Clinic

The Outpatient Health Clinic not only offers daily medical care from our licensed professionals, it also arranges appointments with specialists (including transportation when required), and makes house calls to the apartments. The "Cluster Care" program is unique to only a few continuing care retirement communities providing just that little bit of extra care needed when residents are feeling under the weather or recuperating from a hospital stay. On-site physicians and nurse practitioners specialize in geriatrics. Round the clock healthcare coverage and emergency response is provided for your comfort and safety. Also on staff are physical, occupational and speech therapists. These professionals ease the transition from hospitalization back to independent living at no charge to you if ordered by a Broadmead physician or nurse practitioner.

All residents enjoy the convenience of having on-site access to a dentist, ophthalmologist, podiatrist, audiologist, cardiologist and acupuncurist on a fee-for-service basis. Each specialist works out of an office especially designed for his/her discipline in the Community Center.

Regular trips to the drug store, also, can be crossed off your list after moving to Broadmead. All medications prescribed by our physicians, nurse practitioners or approved specialists are delivered directly to the Reception Desk in the Community Center. What's even better is that you will not have to open your wallet at pick-up time. Broadmead's extensive contract picks up the balance of any prescriptions not covered by Medicare or a prescription insurance plan, when prescribed by a Broadmead physician or nurse practitioner.

Assisted Living

A change in the level of care for any resident is taken very seriously and involves input from the resident, family members and the health care staff. Broadmead's health care is designed to allow residents to retain as high a level of personal independence for as long as possible before making a move. When totally independent living becomes difficult, a resident can move to one of our assisted living rooms located on Taylor Hall in the Community Center. Taylor Hall, licensed for assisted living care, has sixteen comfortable rooms, each with a private bath. Here 24-hour nursing supervision is available to assist those needing additional help with managing the activities of daily living.

Comprehensive Care

A caring, professional environment is a comfort to both the patient and the family, when a resident is in need of restorative nursing care for post-hospital recovery, temporary care for illnesses and injuries, long term care, or hospice care. Broadmead's 79-bed licensed, comprehensive care nursing center provides round-the-clock nursing and physician care. The restraint-free environment and outdoor wander garden allow residents to enjoy their independence for as long as possible. The provision of quality health care and personal support services is a key to allowing for the greatest measure of personal dignity and independence.

From time to time, Broadmead does accept patients on a non-contract basis. For more information about per-diem occupancy, call (410) 584-3381.
