The Client

Client was hospitalized for encephalopathy and hypertension and upon discharge was sent to a care
home. The referral was made at his doctor’s recommendation primarily to manage his medications.

The Challenge

The senior was not happy at the residential care home and wanted to move back into his own home. His daughter lived several thousand miles away and she didn’t know how she could manage her dad at home but wanted to honor his wishes.

The Vivia Solution

The Positive Outcome

After 1 year of service the client’s condition was so improved he was able to graduate from Vivia’s services and is able to maintain living independently at home with a little help from a next door neighbor.
