MD Senior Living
Elevating Assisted Living with Physician Oversight

Living happily and independently is every human’s fundamental right, regardless of age and medical condition. For senior citizens who need support in performing day-to-day activities, assisted living homes are often an ideal solution, helping them maintain their independence while providing assistance with non-medical personal care and mobility needs.

MD Senior Living is reimagining this concept by providing 24/7 physician oversight at its high-quality residential assisted living care homes for seniors in Scottsdale and Phoenix. It houses a team of compassionate caregivers who are certified by the Arizona Department of Health Services and constantly hone their skills through ongoing training to create a warm and safe environment for residents.

“Our assisted living model is built with a focus on evidence-based medicine and quality living, enabling residents to live healthier, stronger, and happier,” says Dr. Sendhil Krishnan, co-founder of MD Senior Living.

A physician-owned company, MD Senior Living is focused on creating a supportive and fulfilling environment for its residents to thrive while making new friends and engaging in meaningful activities.

Quick and personalized attention is a necessity for geriatrics. MD Senior Living ensures this by maintaining a higher caregiver-to-resident ratio of 1:5, which is in stark contrast to the 1:15 ratio at most assisted living facilities today. This enables it to be nimble in its operations and personalize its services for each resident.

The physician oversight at MD Senior Living makes it possible to implement healthcare technologies and services that ensure peace of mind for residents and their families. For instance, residents are provided with bracelets that detect falls and monitor their activity levels. A decline in activity levels indicates a sign of weakness, enabling caregivers to proactively identify problems.

MD Senior Living also leverages remote patient monitoring to track the health conditions of its residents. The collected data is uploaded to a cloud and can be accessed by its physicians to monitor the patients’ vitals. This enables them to discern abnormalities in an individual’s health and adjust their medication.

For instance, if a patient looks physically ill but has stable blood pressure and heart rate, caregivers can contact the physicians for a diagnosis using telehealth and remote patient monitoring technologies. Based on the diagnosis, the physicians can recommend a medicine to alleviate the pain, after which they can be reassessed with the required tests to identify the underlying condition.

The physician ownership at MD Senior Living plays a significant role in improving the way caregivers tackle each situation. Typically, when caregivers are uncertain of the right course of action, residents are sent to a hospital for evaluation. This often makes them weaker as they lack the physical conditioning to keep their body strong and exposes them to hospital-acquired infections such as pneumonia.

MD Senior Living reduces hospitalization rates with its ability to perform telehealth services at the bedside. With a team of physicians practicing various medical specialties, it is quick to identify the right course of action for any health issue, saving residents the inconvenience of painful, expensive, and time-consuming tests.

Setting the standard for assisted living facilities, MD Senior Living collaborates with other communities to provide exceptional care for the elderly. It educates doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals on how to successfully run an assisted living facility. Through this approach, MD Senior Living aims to build a community of homes across the U.S. that follow best practices and leverage advanced healthcare technologies to elevate the quality of life of residents in assisted living facilities.
