Descripción
The Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) is a direct patient care program that helps prevent delirium and functional decline in older hospitalized patients. Using a trained team, HELP addresses a wide range of geriatric issues during a patient’s hospitalization by providing support to keep the patient comfortable and conducting activities to keep them mentally and physically active. We do this through engaging patients in the following:
- Regular volunteer visits to check in and reminisce
- Meal set-up and ordering assistance
- Playing mind- engaging games
- Stretches
- Hearing and vision assistance
