ACE units

ACE units, or Acute Care for Elders units, are specialized hospital units designed to improve the care and recovery of older adults. They focus on creating a healing environment that promotes independence, prevents common problems like confusion or falls, and involves multidisciplinary teams to address the unique needs of elderly patients. The goal is to help seniors recover safely and return home sooner, while maintaining their dignity and quality of life. These units use evidence-based practices and patient-centered approaches to optimize overall health outcomes for older individuals during hospitalization.
