“ We want to change the entire face of home health care in the state of New Jersey and beyond . We see our direct impact on patients as absolutely critical to improving health care outcomes and best practices .”
LINDA MINTZ | CO-CHAIRMAN , CAREFINDERS TOTAL CARE , LLC in order to support their performing at the top of their field , the company also offers , or plans to offer , aides extensive specialty training in services related to Alzheimer ’ s , autism , alternative medicine , nutrition , music therapy and other wellness programs .
Not only does CareFinders ’ leadership provide caregivers with the necessary training , but it also takes great pride in supporting them at a personal level , including through tough times or challenging life circumstances . Leadership has worked hard to create a company culture that has more of a family feel . If an employee is dealing with a health problem or other serious issue , the rest of the team comes together to support them .
“ Sandy and I are very passionate about the quality of care and having an impact on people ’ s lives ,” says Mintz . “ It ’ s not just about the bottom line ; we really do care about the important services we provide and the caregivers who offer invaluable services to our patients every day .”
Innovation Driven by Care To keep up with the rapidly changing health care market , Care- Finders Total Care is embracing technological advances to enhance both the quality of care for their patients and the capabilities of their staff . By investing in developing tele-health services for their patients they can now support registered nurses who are able to visit patients in their homes , complete an assessment , and create a total plan of care that is connected through the entire CareFinders system . Each of these nurses has access to laptops connected to electronic health records so that a patient ’ s vitals and other information can be accessed and updated in real time . Since some visits to emergency rooms are rooted in missed physician appointments or incorrect medication usage , nurses are better able to track appointments and prescriptions and work toward preventing those emergent cases .
One significant technology partner is Phillips , a health technology company provider with 40 years of experience in medical alert services , whose Lifeline service has helped more than seven million to reach help quickly after falls , injuries or other health issues . In order to meet patient needs , CareFinders offers this to help ensure the safety and well-being of patients who are either alone or out of reach when they need help .
As Mintz points out , “ Developing tele-health services helps us bring the total care package together . We are always thinking about how technology can impact the future of the health care system by improving outcomes and creating cost savings .”
Partnership That Fuels Expansion As CareFinders continues to grow and expand across the state of New Jersey , the leadership team has its sights set on covering more ground , possibly in Pennsylvania . With another 10 potential partnerships on the horizon and a goal of providing services for more than 9,000 people , the company anticipates tripling in size and becoming the leading provider of home health care in the area .
In order to get there , CareFinders looks to their financial relationship with Sterling National Bank as an extended part of the team .
