Access to secondary care, including hospital consultations and specialist treatments, is critical for many elderly residents in nursing homes. For those with complex medical conditions, timely access to specialists can prevent complications and improve outcomes. However, the CQC report notes that older adults often face significant barriers to secondary care, including long wait times, transportation difficulties, and logistical challenges. These issues can be particularly challenging for residents with mobility limitations, making it essential for nursing homes to provide effective support.
Nursing homes play a vital role in ensuring that residents can access secondary care as seamlessly as possible. This involves scheduling and coordinating with healthcare providers, managing transportation to and from appointments, and maintaining clear communication with hospital teams. Some nursing homes even employ health advocates who assist residents in navigating their medical journeys, helping ensure they receive the attention they need without unnecessary delays. These efforts support continuity of care, making the healthcare process smoother and more reassuring for both residents and their families.
