Preventative Care Management

Home Johns Hopkins Guided Care

Care works better when it’s better connected.

Youthful Aging Home Care is proud to be the only Sarasota home care provider offering exclusive access to the Johns Hopkins Guided Care Program, a proactive medical care management system for patients with high-risk chronic conditions and complex health needs. While traditional home health care helps temporarily, it doesn’t always connect the dots the way comprehensive care management does.

What is the Guided Care Program?

The Guided Care Program is an invisible safety net that connects patients, families, and doctors with a certified nurse guide trained in the latest techniques for managing complex conditions.
Guided Care nurses are specially trained and certified by the internationally renowned Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing in the care management of patients with high-risk chronic conditions.

Every Guided Care nurse:

functions as a liaison with each primary physician, taking the physician-patient in-home relationship to the next level.
is knowledgeable about COPD, CHF, Parkinson’s, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, to name a few.
motivates and guides patients to manage their own care, which adds to successful outcomes, and enhances quality-of-life.

How do we know that Guided Care works? Families who use Guided Care experience 29% fewer home care visits, 13% fewer hospital readmissions, and 26% fewer days in skilled nursing.

How Is This Accomplished?

A Comprehensive Assessment
Guided Care begins with a comprehensive assessment and getting to know your goals.
A Custom Care Plan
Your Guided Care nurse then coordinates with your primary physician to build a custom care plan, coach you in managing chronic conditions, and keep you on track between visits.
Proactive Oversight
Remote patient monitoring and real-time communication create an extra layer of oversight. It’s proactive, not passive.
A Continuity of Care
Supporting your Guided Care plan, the nurse coordinates the efforts of all treating providers and communicates with your physician, establishing continuity of care.
Smooth Transitions
Guided Care nurses also create a smooth transition in and out of hospitals and other facilities. We visit you, communicate with hospital staff and other professionals, and prepare you for discharge.
Swift & Appropriate Response
Should a health-related problem emerge, your physician is contacted, and Guided Care nurses implement immediate appropriate action no matter the time of day.

Because of their training, proactive mindset, and timely response, Guided Care stops some health crises before they start and can prevent others from becoming worse. Don’t wait for the next emergency.
