At Matulaitis Rehabilitation and Skilled Care, we recognize that long-term care is more than a service; it’s a partnership infused with compassion, expertise, and communication. Building strong relationships with care professionals is essential for enhancing the quality of life for residents and ensuring their needs are met effectively.

The Role of Long-Term Care
Long-term care provides necessary support for individuals who require assistance with daily activities due to chronic illnesses, disabilities, or recovery from surgery. It’s designed to offer a home-like environment where residents can receive personalized care tailored to their unique situations. This care can include assistance with bathing, dressing, medication management, and social activities that promote a fulfilling lifestyle.

Importance of Staying in Touch
Regular communication with care professionals forms the backbone of effective long-term care. Here’s why staying connected matters:

Personalized Care Plans
Each resident has unique needs and preferences that evolve over time. Frequent interactions with care staff ensure that these changes are acknowledged and incorporated into individualized care plans. This adaptability helps maintain the highest quality of life.

Immediate Feedback and Support
Open lines of communication allow families to voice concerns, ask questions, and provide feedback on the care being provided. This partnership fosters a proactive approach, allowing care teams to address issues before they escalate.

Enhanced Emotional Well-Being
Building meaningful relationships with care professionals fosters trust and comfort. Residents who feel seen and understood are more likely to express their feelings and concerns, enhancing their emotional health and well-being.

Engagement in Care Decisions
Actively involving families in care discussions encourages a team approach to decision-making. When families are informed and engaged, they can advocate for their loved ones and ensure that their wishes are respected.

Creating Strong Connections
At Matulaitis, we encourage regular visits, phone calls, and participation in care planning meetings. Families can ask questions and discuss preferences, creating a collaborative atmosphere that benefits everyone involved. Staying connected also means attending community events, which can further strengthen relationships and help families and staff get to know each other better.
