Physicians Eldercare was formed to become the premier provider of
physician related services to the nursing home and assisted living
industry in North Carolina.
Physicians Eldercare is a unique physicians group. Our clinicians
to do not operate in a traditional outpatient practice setting
of seeing patients in a clinic or office setting. We provide our
services through regular weekly scheduled visits to the various
nursing homes and assisted living facilities each week.
We develop a team of geriatric trained physicians and physician
extenders (i.e., nurse practitioners and physician assistants)
who live in a particular region in the state. We then contract
with facilities in the region to develop a full time practice
for this clinician team.
This clinical model allows our clinicians to exclusively concentrate
on the care of the patient in the facilities. This is unlike most
physicians’ practices where the clinician has to worry about
covering his office practice patients along with his long-term
care practice.
