As a center of excellence for diabetes management, Beth Abraham’s Adult Day Health Care Program’s clinical and nursing staff work closely with each registrant’s primary care physician to monitor glucose levels, manage medication, prevent wounds and provide skin and foot care for diabetic registrants. Beth Abraham staff work closely with clients and their families in the daily management of diabetes. Adjustments to diet, exercise and medications, are important in preventing complications associated with the disease. Referrals to appropriate medical specialists and emergency interventions are provided as needed.
