Care that is truly connected
We know changes in your health can happen unexpectedly and escalate quickly, especially when no one’s watching. That’s why we created the Connected Care Plan, giving you the peace of mind of monthly wellness consultations with a Registered Nurse, to help and identify any changes in your or your loved one’s health, before they become more serious.
With prices starting at $199 per month, getting started with Connected Care is easy and affordable. It begins with a one-on-one consultation with a Vyta Lifestyle Advisor, to discuss your needs to see if Connected Care is right for you or your loved one. And if you sign-up, your Lifestyle Advisor works with you to schedule all your Vyta services and keep loved one’s informed about each visit. Think of them as your dedicated concierge, working for you to ensure you’re getting the best care.
So, whether you’re managing a chronic condition, recovering from a surgery or just looking to be proactive about managing your health between doctor visits, our Connected Care Plan may be the support you’re looking for.
Getting started is easy
Professional care, personalized to your health care needs
Physical Assessment
We understand our client’s health care needs are as unique as they are and that’s why we designed the Connected Care plan to be flexible, so we focus on what’s most important to you. During a monthly visit, your dedicated nurse can spend time monitoring vital signs, like blood pressure, oxygen levels, temperature, heart monitoring (to pick up on potential cardiac issues, such as arrhythmia) test and treat UTIs, vaccinations, care for wounds, apply topical anesthetics, etc. Many of our Clinical Leaders are also able to prescribe medication, meaning our clients can avoid leaving home and spending time waiting in emergency by having our Clinical Leaders provide treatment and/or communicate directly with our client’s doctor or pharmacy.
We also understand some of clients’ needs are more specialized, so as part of our holistic approach to care, we offer Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Kinesiology services at a 10% discount when combined with your Connected Care Plan.
Medication Management
Can include; Medication reminders, to help with taking your medications properly. Older adults are at the highest risk of not taking medication properly. Our nurses help our clients with reminders on when and how to take medications by reviewing instructions from their physicians, as well as assisting to ensure you don’t run out of your medications.
Medication management is important for seniors dealing with medical conditions or ailments. Even more important is medication management for those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia as many are prescribed numerous medications to assist with their impairment as well as to promote sleep, reduce anxiety, and improve their mood, making it difficult for them to remember which drug to take, when to take it and what the correct dosage is.
Our CarePack™ service provides the additional peace of mind of pre-sorting your medications and packaging them for you in convenient pouches, (ideal for when you’re travelling from home) to make it easier for you to ensure you’re taking your medications at the right time at the right dosage no matter where you are. Each pouch is pharmacist approved before we send it for delivery and accompanied by a summary of your medications being shipped. And for added convenience, with CarePack™ we can package your prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins and other supplements together in a single pouch.
Monitoring Mobility
Declines in mobility as we age can be caused by natural physical changes, like loss of muscle mass and strength or bone density loss, making bones more fragile (especially in weight-bearing joints like the knees and hips) but can also be caused by more chronic conditions like arthritis, neurological disorder and/or cardiovascular ailments. Signs can be subtle, such as increased difficulty in standing or sitting without support, stiffness or pain when bending but can become more serious with loss of balance or coordination, resulting in a fall.
Monitoring signs of decline in mobility and developing personalized strategies for mitigating them or addressing underlying causes is essential to seniors’ safety when living independently at home. Our nurses help keep on top of the signs of decline in our patient’s mobility and offer resources to help client’s either maintain and improve mobility or work with their doctor to manage chronic conditions more effectively.
Monitoring Cognitive Condition
The signs of cognitive decline or impairment can be subtle, such as changes in person’s memory, personality and/or spoken or written language abilities and can be caused by number of factors, such as; loneliness, isolation, side effects from medication, illness, infection, metabolic and/or endocrine dysfunction, depression and more chronic diseases like, Alzheimer’s, dementia or frontotemporal disorders. Some conditions are reversible, while others are only treatable only for a period of time.
Our Clinical Leaders and nurses work to build a rapport with each of our clients over time, and monitor any changes in their disposition and cognitive abilities, helping to detect any early warning signs of possible decline and keep family members informed of each interaction with a client. And if an assessment is thought to be necessary, our Clinical Leaders can communicate with our client’s doctor to arrange for further testing and diagnosis.
Watching for Warning Signs
Often the signs of decline are not physiological but environmental. Our nurses take note of any changes in our client’s home and/or ability to maintain their home, such as a home becoming messy or cluttered, evidence of unhealthy eating habits, like spoiled or lack of food in the home, a build-up of unopened mail / bills, etc. All of these can be early signs of a senior beginning to struggle with household tasks due to either physical or cognitive limitations and left unchecked, can create an unhealthy and unsafe living environment for a client.
Our nurses can work with family members and our Lifestyle Advisors to offer suggestions on other support services to help in many of these areas to allow our clients to continue to live and age comfortably at home independently with confidence, joy and dignity.
