Our Programs
Chronic Care Management
Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a program originally created by Medicare in 2015 to help reduce the financial burden of hospitalizations and provide well-rounded support to primary care patients.
PGS has worked diligently to bring CCM to the geriatric population in long term care facilities so that patients and their families may reap the rewards of 24/7 care team support. When you choose PGS to care for your LTC residents, they will be offered the benefit of CCM and your facility staff can rest easy knowing they have an added layer of support.

Remote Patient Monitoring
Technology is the wave of the future. We have partnered with a turn-key care team dedicated to providing the best equipment for monitoring the health of our patients.
Our fully integrated Remote Patient Monitoring solution was designed to be easy-to-use for any functional patient and captures important current health metrics. A spike or drop in a metric, outside of the defined threshold, may indicate developing health issues. This 24/7 monitoring of health status gives patients and their loved ones the satisfaction of knowing they are receiving the highest quality care.
The wearable device is simple to use for patients, caregivers, and clinical staff alike. Each kit comes with two lightweight health watches and charger, a tablet with case and stand, and a blood pressure cuff.
This service is available to all Assisted Living and Independent Living residents residing in the communities PGS serves.
Transitional Care Management
At PGS, we focus on keeping our patients at home, feeling well, and out of the hospital. A huge risk area for our patients includes the days and weeks following discharge from rehab when their level of support shifts.
We have worked relentlessly to develop a way to bridge the gap after discharge to provide the highest quality care and support during and after an in-patient stay.
Our Transitional Care Management Program allows our clinicians to follow you or your resident home for at least 30 days. We have clinicians available and ready to provide support to our home health partners, refill medications as needed, treat acute conditions, and more. Our goal is to reduce the risk of readmissions as patients transfer back to the community.
Accountable Care Organization
Premier is working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiative to provide value-added medical and mental health services to Medicare long term care beneficiaries through a partnership with Long Term Care Accountable Organization. LTC ACO is an innovative Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) for beneficiaries who reside in long term care (LTC) facilities. Based on the care provided to more than 20,000 individuals, Premier and LTC ACO work collaboratively to identify best practices that result in optimal professional medical services resulting in improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life.
Preventative Care
Quality care starts with prevention. By using a preventative approach, we can manage the patient’s care as a whole and yield better patient outcomes. This proactive program allows Premier to do our part in lowering the overall cost of healthcare.
Annually, we screen our patients to determine eligibility for an Annual Wellness Visit and an Advanced Care Planning Session. These visits are a part of the CMS lead preventative initiatives designed to allow patients and their clinician the opportunity to create their own personalized prevention plan. This personalized plan focuses collaboratively on disease prevention, management, education, and determining end of life care goals.
These services are covered by Medicare Part B and most Medicare Advantage plans.
Telemedicine
Access to high quality clinicians is a huge barrier for many individuals across the United States. In our communities, Premier is working to bridge the gaps in healthcare coverage. Telemedicine allows patients ease of access to a healthcare provider from anywhere. We use telemedicine to provide emergency services when our clinicians aren’t in the facility, to manage any health crisis or concerns after one of our patients has discharged from a facility, and to extend our service line to more remote, rural areas that are not easily accessible.
Our telemedicine services are always secure and HIPAA compliant.
