QWhat senior care services does Holy Cross Health offer?
A We proudly offer a full range of services to meet the needs of seniors in our community.  This includes primary care, acute care in our hospitals, home health care to support post-hospital recovery, primary care and senior health and wellness programs.  

We have four primary care practices, including two practices embedded in senior living buildings: one at Asbury Methodist Village in Gaithersburg and another in The Leggett in downtown Silver Spring. 

In 2008, Holy Cross Hospital was one of the first hospitals in the country to create a Seniors Emergency Center designed and staffed to meet the specific needs of seniors.  

Our nurse-supervised Medical Adult Day Center is ideal for socially engaging, activity rich care for adults—particularly those with dementia or a developmental disability. It has been a welcomed resource for adult children and spouses caring for a loved one.  

QWhy is Holy Cross involved in services beyond medical care?
A We believe that self-care and preventive care are cornerstones to overall good health and living your best life. We provide education to help older populations manage chronic conditions such as diabetes. Our Senior Fit classes, in more than a dozen sites as well as virtually, see an average of 1,000 people participating weekly. 

QHow does Holy Cross meet the special needs of seniors?
A We meet the needs of seniors with specialization and care coordination. We have hired board-certified geriatricians and specialists such as clinical pharmacists who provide education and medication management.  

Our nurse care managers help patients manage chronic conditions and a single electronic medical record across all our sites facilitates effective communication among our care teams.
