Carmen had a tough time when she returned to the long-term care facility where she lived. After a hospitalization, she was no longer able to mobilize as she had before her illness. She was frequently upset, with uncontrollable crying spells. She was diagnosed with depression, along with other mental health conditions. Earlier in the year, the Community Living Center (CLC) at the Hampton VA Medical Center earned recognition as an Age-Friendly Health Systems Participant. Participant teams have successfully developed plans to reliably implement a set of evidence-based interventions for all older adults in their care. These practices are known as the 4Ms: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility. The team uses a multidisciplinary approach to address what matters to patients. “The heart of geriatrics is interdisciplinary,” said Dr. Yee. She describes the approach as, “All hands on deck.” Learn more about how the CLC identified changes to improve Carmen’s health based on what was most important to her: https://bit.ly/4cXsdA1
