Pathways Healthcare

Pathways Healthcare is a senior care provider based at 87 Stiles Road, Suite 205, in Salem, New Hampshire, and it's been around since 2012, though it's got its headquarters in Westwood, Massachusetts, and employs about 51 to 200 people, which is a good size for a place that takes care of folks in different ways. Pathways Healthcare works as a Medicare-certified Home Health Agency, so it sends nurses and caregivers to people's homes to help them manage daily tasks like bathing, dressing, managing medicine, and making meals, and they've got special nurses and doctors who can be on-call 24/7 for medical needs, which helps cut down on time waiting for orders or equipment, and they've got a "PCP Bridge Program" so their doctors can temporarily stand in as primary care providers if someone's in between doctors. The company also takes care of folks coming out of the hospital or dealing with tough medical situations like psychiatric care, heart problems, wound care, IVs, G-tubes and tracheostomies, and they've got all sorts of therapies, so people can get physical or occupational therapy right in their homes without having to pack up and head out. Pathways Healthcare offers different living arrangements, too, like independent living for seniors who want maintenance-free homes, assisted living for people who need a bit more help, memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's in safe, secure settings with programs that help keep their minds active, and skilled nursing care for those who need round-the-clock support after an illness or surgery, and even continuing care retirement communities where people can move from one care level to another as their needs change. There are community features like walking paths, gardens, dining rooms, movie nights, arts rooms, lounges, libraries, and a barber/salon, and they've got rooms and apartments in different sizes, including studios and one-bedrooms, and some are set up for memory care. There's a focus on making sure residents get help with whatever they need, whether it's supervision all day and night, a quick call system for emergencies, help with meals, laundry, transfers, or getting outside for fresh air, which is nice because staying active and social is healthy, and they run activities and programs that give everyone a chance to join in and feel part of things, or just enjoy the gardens if they prefer. The staff includes physicians and nurse practitioners who can quickly help with medical orders, medication, and testing, which makes it easier for seniors to manage health needs without waiting, and the company also offers hospice and palliative care services, meaning they help relieve pain or discomfort for people dealing with serious illness, trying to make life as comfortable as possible. Pathways Healthcare offers home infusion therapy, respite care for short-term relief, and their services are designed so as many people as possible can get support at home and age in place, staying as independent as they can for as long as they're able. The company's care model is built around personalized care plans and offers services every day of the week, which gives families peace of mind knowing someone can step in whenever needed, and their mission says they aim to inspire healing and promote independence, which they do by giving people choices in how and where they're cared for.
