Written by mmLearn.org | March 2, 2015

Acure Care for Elders Units, known as ACE units, are uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of older adults with trained staff and special floors, lighting and furniture. These factors dramatically improve health outcomes and decrease hospital-related complications for our older adults. In this video, Dr. Parker and Dr. Suh, both geriatricians, present what to expect when loved ones are admitted to ACE Units, the advantages of ACE Units, and the importance of ACE units in meeting the needs of this special population.
