How Do I Explain Providence ElderPlace to Clients?
Providence ElderPlace delivers a new system of care for older adults. The goal of Providence ElderPlace is to keep clients as active and healthy in their communities as long as possible by providing a wide range of health and social services. Clients at Providence ElderPlace have a team of professionals acting together to provide these services. This includes doctors, personal care assistants, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, and other health care professionals. The Providence ElderPlace team works together to do everything possible to keep participants out of hospitals and nursing homes.
Most participants attend the Providence ElderPlace Center on a regular basis and round trip transportation is provided. When participants go to the ElderPlace center, they

People who enroll at Providence ElderPlace are asked to change their primary care provider to one of the Providence ElderPlace primary care physicians: Dr. Assad Kazemi, Dr. Laura Myre, Dr. Sarah Babineau or Dr. Theresa Berta. Changing your primary care provider might be a difficult decision. However, the primary care physicians at Providence ElderPlace only see ElderPlace participants. They have the time to listen, and are able to get to know their patients very well.
