Welcome to the blog of Crestwood Care Centre & Direct Dialysis.  We are introducing  this particular forum with the goal of providing the latest information on such topics as diabetes/dialysis, stroke, Alzheimer's/dementia and wound care. We also would like to create open dialogues amongst our readers in hopes that shared experiences and knowledge will help to improve everyone's understanding of such issues, as well as pose new questions.
     The relationship between Crestwood Care Centre and Direct Dialysis provides a unique environment for in-house residents as well as our out- patients.  It is through this relationship that we have garnered so much experience and insight. We intend to focus a lot of the information and discussion presented here on diabetes:  diagnosis, diet/nutrition and treatment,particularly dialysis. Look for our first post, "Stroke Risk Factors" on August 5th. 
     In the future, we will be discussing various other specialty care issues, such as dialysis, physical rehabilitation, Alzheimer's/dementia education and wound care. Crestwood Care Centre has long been a community resource for senior health care issues and dialysis.  We look forward to not only providing information, be it to professionals or the general public, but to the sharing of ideas and experiences with our readers. If you have any questions or thoughts concerning dialysis, diabetes or senior care in general, please leave your comments here.
