Braeview Care and Rehabilitation: Where you can leave your heart and be at home.

Braeview Care and Rehabilitation: Where you can leave your heart, and be at home.

Due to the ever-changing nature of skilled nursing facilities, Braeview Care and Rehabilitation has upped the ante by adding behavioral health to the list of care specialties they provide.  Although Braeview has remained consistent with providing optimal clinical care for residents requiring long-term and short-term care they recognized the increase of demand for patients and residents diagnosed with mental illness and have branched out to meet the needs of these patients.

The Behavioral Unit at Braeview offers standardized staff education and detailed policy and procedures relevant to not only meeting regulations but also the need of residents. The entire team of devoted caregivers received training and certification acknowledging that safety and well-being are at the forefront of policy and program development. Certification relied on the best care techniques when exposed to residents who may require de-escalation. Upon completion of being certified the team strategized comprehensive care plans to ensure that each resident currently residing in the behavioral unit and newly admitted residents achieve the highest quality of mental health and personal integrity despite the losses they have shouldered and the challenges they may have faced.

The integration of behavioral health into the interdisciplinary care planning contributes to numerous positive outcomes for the resident and the facility, including: reduction in psychological and behavioral symptoms, reduced use of psychotropic medications, increased treatment compliance, reduced rehospitalization/readmissions and improved resident independent functioning.

Braeview Care and Rehabilitation welcomes the city of Euclid, community members and our neighbors to our Open House on Thursday, October 18th from 4PM to 7PM.  RSVP by calling (216) 486-9300
