Senior Friendly ER
Davis Regional Medical Center offers emergency care services in a setting designed for senior citizens.
Going to the emergency room is a stressful experience at any age, but especially for seniors. That’s why we’ve introduced an environment of care just for older patients. We are staffed with specially trained nurses who understand the unique personal and medical need of patients 65 and older.
Our senior friendly ER features:
- Designated private patient rooms designed with seniors in mind
- Special beds with thick, softer mattresses and warm blankets
- Large, easy-to-reach call bells
- Black out windows to assist in quietness and lighting issues
- Hearing amplifiers
- Dimmable lighting
- Frequent rounding by staff
- Handrails and upgraded wheelchairs for easy and safe transportation
- Help with discharge planning to foster the continuum of care
