We have been waiting for months for approval into a program called Providence Elder place. It is run through Providence hospital here in Seattle and we were thrilled when we got the call that Dad was going to be accepted into the program February 1st! Everything has been great so far! He had to switch all of his doctors from group Health and UW, but Absolutely everything is covered! His medicine, his dr visits, he is eligible for in home care! It is a fantastic program. They also pick him up and take him to his appointments and he can go 7 days a week if he likes to their facility for physical therapy or just for social interaction! Again they will pick him up and bring him home! Although I make fun of him for riding the short bus to school, he giggles and couldn't be happier! It is a fantastic program!
Within the first few days of being involved in the program he has met and LOVES his new medical team! Mom says that Dr. Theressa had dad grinning ear to ear! She says that everyone is extremely detailed, compassionate and attentive! Moms most favorite thing was that they delivered a weeks worth of medicine, all sorted and perfect to their front door! She is so excited about this service :) "No one ever delivers anything directly to our front door! Not even the crystal springs water guy!"
Mom also said in an email thanking providence... ."it has felt so lonely for the past few months trying to cope with dads disease and they are finally giving dad the health care he deserves!" We are all thrilled about it and know dad is finally in great hands!!
Below is a cute pic of dad with his new medical team!
