On June 16, Congresswoman Candace Miller, (MI-10th District) visited our Shelby facility to announce the Silver Alert Grant Program.
The Silver Alert Grant Program Act will provide funding for states to establish or make improvements to their Silver Alert notification systems. Studies have found that as many of 60 percent of patients with Alzheimer's or dementia will wander. This can occur when doing something as simple as walking their dog, or going to the store. Those same statistics also found that if seniors are not found within the first 24 hours, as many as 50 percent will suffer serious injury or death.
The act requires local law enforcement agencies to work with media outlets and transportation officials to alert the public of a missing senior, and how to locate the senior.
"As the population of our country begins to age, we must look to protect and assist the members of the "Greatest Generation" and baby boomers who may be suffering from "senior moments," or more tragically dementia or Alzheimer's," Rep. Miller said.
Premier Health Care salutes Congress for its courage and foresight in
signing this very timely and crucial piece of legislation. We know that
America is a
country with a significant population of aging citizens, citizens who
have given their best to their country and now deserve the best from
their country in return. Senior care isn't just a business; it's a
welcome duty that offers the best of providers the best of rewards.
Premier Health Care is committed to peerless health care. That's why we have undertaken major rethinking and renovating of our facilities. Just as we staff our facilities with the best care professionals, we craft our facilities using the highest quality of construction, design and decor. We call on the best landscapers, interior designers and architects to make our vision a reality. And we build to last.
Such dedication involves considerable investment, an investment we embrace. Premier puts its money where its heart is: your care. Currently, we are renovating our entire ShorePointe campus, inside and out. We are well-known for our "Smart Design,"a can-do strategy of careful planning, creative thinking and consummate execution. Our reputation is very valuable to us, a reputation rooted in the value of service we deliver to our patients and residents. The improvements we are making to ShorePointe will not only add value to the incomparable care of our residents and patients; they will enhance the overall experience of that care throughout the campus.
We also are making significant upgrades to the interior design of our Woodward, Shelby and West Bloomfield facilities. Our design is an alluring balance of rich yet soothing colors and comfortable yet practical appointments. Only Premier. Only for you.
