“Generations at Oakton Pavillion is known for providing compassionate person-centered care in a warm family-like setting with quality-of-life activities,” said Suddy Salgado (Administrator, Generations at Oakton Pavillion). “Our Enhanced Respiratory Care Accreditation is a testament to our continuing commitment to providing the highest quality of care for our patients. Generations at Oakton Pavillion has world-class rehabilitative and skilled nursing services, all with the comforts of home.”
“Healthcare facilities that implemented the enhanced respiratory care program in Tennessee, where the Enhanced Respiratory Care program began in 2002,” explained Gene Gantt, RRT, FAARC (Former Chair AARC Long Term Care; AARC Representative to the Respiratory Compromise Institute; President, Eventa, LLC), “not only delivered high-value care to their patients but doubled their resource utilization rates from an average of $350 to $700 per day. We invite all healthcare facilities to apply for accreditation and demonstrate their commitment to delivering quality patient care.” Mr. Gantt is also on PPAHS’s board of advisors and is PPAHS’s clinical partner.
The Enhanced Respiratory Care Program is endorsed and supported by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) – please see the AARC letter of endorsement and support. This Program has achieved liberation rates of 65% and earned national recognition of best practice/center of excellence from the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST).
