                      Geriatric Services


                      Dupont Hospital’s healthcare team is committed to excellence in caring for older adults, a commitment reflected in senior-specific recognitions.

                      Hospital-wide delivery of specialized care for older adults led to Dupont Hospital designation as a Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders facility. This senior-friendly focus includes:

                      • Recognizing hearing loss, as well as vision, fall, gait and balance issues
                      • Using best practices to improve transitions into and out of the hospital
                      • Using an evidence-based, team approach to care
                      • Including families in care plan development and execution
                      • Enhancing the overall patient and family experience
                      • Stimulating culture changes throughout the hospital to achieve patient-centered care
                      • Providing resources to help caregivers better navigate the hospital experience and support their loved ones in dealing with:
                        • Community care options
                        • Dementia
                        • Discharge planning
                        • Medication use
                        • Nurse/family partnering strategies
                        • Work and eldercare topics

                      Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders is the only national designation indicating a hospital’s commitment to elder care excellence.
