From Skyline’s website:
“THE SKYLINE MEDICAL ADVANTAGE
“Skyline recognizes the vital role that physicians play in providing and overseeing care for our health-services clients.
“At Skyline, we are dedicated to providing a superior medical environment for people in short-term rehab or who need long-term care. Our in-house medical director, Dr. Emily Hanson, is at Skyline full-time. Along with her team, she helps residents coordinate care between doctors and provide medical services and referrals as needed. The community features independent living, assisted living, short-term rehab, memory support and skilled nursing—all in a wing of the same building.
“Skyline takes an on-demand, “concierge medicine” approach. Whenever residents are admitted to a hospital, our nurse liaison accompanies them to ensure they receive the medical care they need at the hospital, and prepares an appropriate level of care when they return to Skyline. This intervention has reduced hospital readmission rates more than 50% for Skyline residents, as compared to the national average.”
Even before Jim Bennett’s letter regarding the change of Dr. Hanson’s services, I found this bit of marketing to be somewhat beyond the edge of accuracy.
