Ideas for Health Assessments

By on May 9, 2013 in General Aging Information, Resources

Hey everyone!

Henry Ford Health System has a community outreach person who is responsible for doing things like scheduling blood pressure screenings. I recently got in touch with the outreach person for Henry Ford Wyandotte, Melanie Elliott. I asked if she could help me with scheduling screenings other than blood pressure here at Flat Rock Towers. I explained to Elliott that screenings that involve puncturing skin or ingesting things are not permitted on site. Since that conversation, Elliott scheduled a therapist to come out to do grip assessments. Grip assessments tie in to balance assessments in that it tests the patient’s ability to do things like grip shower bars.

The flyer that I made for this event is attached:

Blood Pressure

So, these are just some ideas as to how to meet those assessment criteria on the logic model. What types of things has everyone else done in their co-ops?

DHS/MiCAFE Fun Fact

By on April 16, 2013 in Resources

Today I spoke with someone from MiCAFE and learned a new fun fact:

In cases where a DHS worker and/or his or her supervisor do not return calls or will not resolve a problem — particularly a problem involving the case of a MiCAFE client — we can call Lindsay Felsing with Elder Law of Michigan who will most likely advocate for that client through the DHS channels.
