Opens Renovated Outpatient Center Opens Senior Care ER

Rehabilitation Center Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center is adapting to accommodate the needs of our
aging population by opening a Senior Care Emergency Room. The Senior Care ER at
Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, will focus care for senior patients, and is
designed to increase patient comfort, and provide greater aid for those patients with
visual and hearing impairments.
Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center is partnering with NICHE (Nurses Improving
Care for Healthsystem Elders) which is a national program to improve care for older
hospitalized adults. Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center nurses and emergency room
physicians underwent specialized training to care for the elderly.
The Senior Care ER unit will be equipped to help increase patient comfort, reduce
wait time and provide up-to-the-minute patient status, as well as immediate access to
film-based radiological images.
It will have enhanced lighting, larger visible clocks, and freshly painted warm col-
ored walls to make our senior patients feel comfortable while we care for them.
