Home Therapy Solutions Achieves IHI Level 2 Age-Friendly Health System Committed to Care Excellence Status!
The Grand Forks business has met requirements and standards, qualifying that its services for older adults ensure they are aging in the right place!
We are proud to announce that Home Therapy Solutions LLC in Grand Forks, North Dakota, has achieved Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), Level 2 Age-Friendly Health System Committed to Care Excellence status. This significant accomplishment recognized by IHI, highlights Home Therapy Solutions’ dedication to improving care for older adults.
The Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative is centered around the “4Ms” framework, which ensures that the care provided to older adults is comprehensive and tailored to their unique needs. The 4Ms are:
- What Matters: Prioritizing each older adult’s health goals and care preferences.
- Mentation: Focusing on maintaining and improving cognitive function and addressing mental health concerns.
- Medications: Ensuring that medications are age-appropriate and do not interfere with the other aspects of the 4Ms.
- Mobility: Promoting safe mobility to help older adults maintain their independence and function.
With the support of Dakota Geriatrics, Home Therapy Solutions has been successful in implementing these principles, ensuring that older adults receive respectful, individualized, and holistic care. By focusing on what truly matters to each person, supporting cognitive health, managing medications wisely, and encouraging mobility, Home Therapy Solutions is setting a new standard for age-friendly care.
We congratulate Home Therapy Solutions on this achievement and look forward to continuing our partnership to improve the lives of older adults in our community.
