Centralized Nursing Support

We have launched a new staffing program that benefits residents, team members, and families in our community. Licensed nurses overseen by the Clinical Services team at the Touchmark central office are on-call to support your local nursing team between 7 pm and 7 am every day.

These team members are:

Trained in evaluative care as well as all Touchmark policies and procedures
Licensed in all states where Touchmark communities are located
Equipped to advise and provide direct recommendations for staff on-site when community nurses are unavailable
Available for phone and video consultations with team members and residents as needed
In regular communication with the Health Services team in each community
Compiling data and performing audits to improve quality assurance
Able to access each community’s EMAR system

Our goal is to provide more comprehensive nursing coverage for residents and reduce community team member stress. Community contacts/nurses remain a vital part of this process. Any after-hours support is conveyed to local nurses to assist with continuously coordinated care, and local nurses are available should the need arise.

Early Memory Care in Appleton, Wisconsin

The early memory care Pembrook neighborhood is designed to provide a supportive and stimulating home environment for those with cognitive impairment or the early stages of dementia who are not yet in need of a secured environment.

We created this dynamic model for neighborhood living when we saw the need for an intermediary option that offered a nuanced approach to care. We’ve observed that symptoms tend to progress more slowly when individuals in the early stages of dementia can live in an environment that limits confusion and places them with their peers to allow for positive stimulation and conversation. Using person-centered programming that respects the life history and preferences of each resident, the Pembrook neighborhood encourages an overall sense of well-being.

A Comfortable and Supportive Environment

Each Pembrook neighborhood resident receives an in-depth initial assessment to determine their care plan. Regular assessments are conducted thereafter to ensure all needs are met as they change. Well-trained caregiving staff members are present 24 hours per day.
