SignatureCareConnect™
Signature CareConnect is a network of
affiliated healthcare professionals united
by the common goal of providing seamless
care and support. Through proactive,
conscientious and professional care,
our collective goal is for seniors to enjoy
the comfort of their own home as long
as possible. If a hospital admittance is
necessary, Signature CareConnect works
together as a team to reduce the length of
stay and help prevent re-admission after
discharge due to heart attack, heart failure,
pneumonia and other complications.
Anetworkofprofessionals
Signature CareConnect is built on a
foundation of genuine care and proactive
treatment through a network of qualified
health care professionals. We consider
it a privilege and an honor to provide
individualized care for our patients and
guests. Through strategic alignment with
partners that share in this principal of
care, Signature CareConnect is able to
provide consistent service across the entire
spectrum of senior healthcare.
Members of the Signature CareConnect
network display “A Proud Partner” badge
which features the tagline, “Integrated
Care for Better Living.” What does this
mean to those receiving care under the
Signature CareConnect umbrella? It
means comprehensive and professional
assistance navigating a confusing health
care system. It means consistent, unified
care across a spectrum of services with
a singular purpose: Keeping seniors in
their home as long as
possible, reducing the
length of hospital stays,
and fewer re-admissions.

by providing timely, appropriate, and
thoughtful care at any point in the patient’s
entrance to the health care system.
The Signature CareConnect network of
professional health care providers ensures
that the entire spectrum of an individual’s
health care needs are adequately met at

that the Signature CareConnect network

possible care–come what may in the life of
our valued guests and patients.
Whywe’redifferent
The Signature CareConnect network is
unique in its’ comprehensive depth in care
providers, facilities, administrators, health
care professionals and most importantly—
the integral commitment to the well being
of the lives it touches.
Your commitment to quality service
through the SCC network is its strongest
asset. The more you know about the
procedures, services and partners, the
more equipped you’ll be to deliver on
the mission to guide seniors through the
complete continuum of care.

As healthcare becomes increasingly
specialized, coordination between
providers and settings is too often
not conducted as a team effort. Poor
coordination of care can result in
hospital readmissions, many of which are
avoidable.
The frequency of patients returning to
hospitals soon after being discharged is a
problem plaguing the American healthcare
system at an estimated cost of $12 billion in
Medicare spending and $25 billion across all
payers annually. Some experts estimate up to
76% of re-hospitalizations are avoidable.
Increasingly, hospitals are being asked to
lead the change in acute-post-acute care
transitions. Also, demonstration projects
are commencing on bundled payments
to hospitals, an expanded DRG payment
that will encompass post-acute care for the
following 30 days, making the hospital the
purchaser of transitional care, home health
and home care. This effort is designed to
reduce the silo effect of our acute-post-
acute care system and bring accountability
and control to bear on the utilization of
post-acute services.
These initiatives mean as post-acute
providers we must embrace our
responsibility to function with our acute
care partners are part of the health care
system, driving efficiencies, effectiveness
and seamless transitions of care.
Post-acute providers must begin to think
of themselves as part of a “system” of
health care. This new environment will
require post-acute providers to better
know their partnering hospitals to step up
their clinical offerings, and to provide for
transparency on costs and outcomes, in
order to survive.
WHY A SIGNATURECARECONNECT NETWORK?
S I G N A T U R E C A R E C O N N E C T ™ 7
Signature CareConnect™ is positioned
to help our customers partner with their
referring hospitals through innovative and
substantive approaches:
Protocol-driven clinical programs are the
foundation to any accountable and effective
post-acute care. We will help to customize
these programs to referring hospitals
for seamless transitions, making patient
transfers safer and faster.
This information can build a first step to
finding an opportunity to partner with
the hospital. SCC leaders and managers
represent experience across the continuum-
from outpatient services. Our experience
and connections can help you navigate the
changing business and referral world.
Establishing a Care Continuum with
Signature CareConnect partners in post-
acute care: home health, home care,
and hospice, can better serve the post
acute needs of your community with an
integrated solution.
ClinicalLiasons
Coordinating care is identified by
healthcare systems as a best practice
toward standardizing patient outcomes
and controlling risk.
CareConnect establishes Clinical Liaisons
in area hospitals as the first entry point to
the SCC network. These Clinical Liaisons
focus on safer and more efficient care
transitions out of the hospital, ease
patient and family anxiety, and ready the
receiving team—for the patient condition.
The next stage of CareConnect involves
a continuous clinical pathway across the
continuum.

REASSURANCE AND HOPE
Providinganswers
We understand the confusion, frustration
and helplessness that patients and their
families often feel when entering the
health care system. Signature CareConnect
provides educated answers, guidance, and
professional, attentive healthcare allowing
families to concentrate on what matters
most–being there for their loved ones.
We challenge every member of the
Signature CareConnect network to
understand and empathize with the unique
needs of our clientele and their families
so that together we can bring relief,
reassurance and proactive healthcare to
our patients and guests.
Peaceofmind
No one enters the health care system
by choice. Injury and illness thrust
individuals into a healthcare system that
they do not understand or trust. Signature
CareConnect helps provide peace of mind
through a network of caring healthcare
professionals dedicated to making health
concerns less concerning.
Aclearnextstep
By having trained healthcare professionals
and administrators in place that
understand the myriad of options afforded
to a senior while in care, the Signature
CareConnect network and referral system
creates a safety net for the patients—
ensuring ease of transition, quality care,
clear direction and predictability. That’s
why Signature CareConnect exists—to
create the best possible scenario for our
patients.

SIGNATURE CARECONNECT SERVICE PARTNERS
Anetworkofpartnerships
The Signature CareConnect partner
program ensures that the continuum of
care is left unbroken for seniors in the
SCC network. Each service provider under
SCC is a part of an elite and specialized
workforce that we call partners. Each
partner is committed to the level of service
and integrity that Signature CareConnect
stands for. Extensive SCC partner services
include skilled nursing, rehabilitation,
home care, hospice, memory care,
independent living and assisted living.
Easeoftransition
As seniors’ care needs change and evolve,
its the responsibility of the healthcare
professionals within the SCC network to
be aware of the partner network so they
can readily recommend and refer to other
SCC service partners. This referral network
aids in ease of transition and also alleviates
stress from the patient and family by
providing a road map for future care and
healthcare planning.
Asymbolofpeaceofmind

SkilledNursing
Our skilled nursing services emphasize
short-stay rehabilitation, with a focus on
medically complex cases. After illness
or injury requires hospitalization, the
Signature CareConnect™ (SCC) skilled
nursing programs are frequently used to
stabilize medical conditions and initiate
comprehensive rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is a theme throughout the
SCC network. From brief inpatient stays at
our skilled nursing centers, to home health
rehabilitation, to our on-site clinics in many
of our Assisted Living Facilities, our belief
is that early identification and intervention
with rehabilitation can speed recovery,
restore health and well being and help
seniors avoid preventable declines that
result from loss of strength and balance.
HomeCare
Keeping seniors healthy and at home is
the purpose behind SCC. Often, some
home assistance makes all the difference
between being successful and considering
a more supported living arrangement.
From chores, to transportation, medication
reminders and 24-hour care, our Home
Care network of services offer an array of
support to help families help themselves.
Hospice
When aggressive treatment is no longer
tolerated or desired, our SCC Hospice
services can assist individuals and
families in managing symptoms of
chronic illness, so that quality of life can
be enjoyed. Hospice is about living the
best life you can.
A NETWORK OF PROFESSIONAL CARE
S I G N A T U R E C A R E C O N N E C T ™ 13
MemoryCare
The SCC network specializes in custom
programming and environments for
memory-impaired seniors—irregardless
of level of care. These comprehensive
programs ease the stress for patients and
families that accompanies progressive
memory loss and provide resources that
enhance the quality of life for the patient.
IndependentLiving
Gracious, supported living—retirement
style. For seniors over 65, SCC independent
living options include meals, life-
enrichment activities and housekeeping
services. This level of support allows
seniors to spend their time and energy on
what they want to do, rather than focusing
on the stresses of maintaining a home.
AssistedLiving
Designed with a social model in mind, the
SCC network of assisted living facilities and
personnel provide care and support for
seniors who need help with personal care
in addition to meals, life enrichment, and
nursing supervision.
With facilities located throughout Oregon
and Washington the SCC network of
assisted living promotes a community
lifestyle that promotes independence and
respects an individual’s privacy.
