We're interested in seeing the persons we support live a long and healthy life - full of all the activities they enjoy. Our innovation stems from this fundamental desire. The following are just a few additional services you and your team can look forward to with EPI.
My25/Mainstay
Getting the food right - in other words, changing our eating habits - gets us closer to sustainable good health. Our experience using My25/Mainstay with our staff and persons served has resulted in persons moving towards their ideal healthy weight and a reduction in preventable health medications. My25/Mainstay isn't a diet - rather it provides nutritional resources and tools to enhance weight management, mealtime habits, and independent skills.

Health Risk Screening Tools - Prevention Through Early Detection

The goal is to provide the team with guidance in determining the person’s need for further assessment and evaluation to address identified health risks. It will also guide the team in determining the need for professional medical services.
