24 Hour Nursing Care & Services

The Department of Nursing is led by a skilled nursing administrative team, with the Director of Nursing (DON) holding ultimate responsibility for its functions. Together with your attending physician, the nursing staff and interdisciplinary care team will develop a personalized care plan for you.

To ensure continuous care, qualified nursing personnel are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each nursing unit is appropriately staffed with professional nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants, with staffing levels tailored to meet the specific care needs of patients, consistently exceeding regulatory standards.

Your room is equipped with a call bell system, and we encourage you to use it whenever you need assistance. Promoting and maintaining your independence is a key part of your care, and our focus is always on helping you achieve your optimal level of functioning.

Care Planning & Care Conferences

A comprehensive interdisciplinary care plan is developed to meet your specific needs shortly following admission and periodically thereafter. You, your family, and/or your responsible party are encouraged to attend the care conference meetings at which time the care plan, as well as other issues such as expectations, are discussed. These meetings provide a formal opportunity to ask questions of those staff directly involved in your care. Communication will be sent to your family and/or responsible party to notify them of the date and time of the conference. You will be invited to attend the care conference. In the event your family members are unable to attend scheduled meeting times, arrangements can be made for telephone conferencing.

Rehab Therapies

Our comprehensive rehabilitation therapy programs includes:

Physical Therapy to regain strength, endurance, and mobility
Occupational Therapy to regain independence in daily tasks

These therapies support the transition from hospitalization to home. Each rehabilitation program is custom tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual with the goal of restoring function and help you reach the highest level of independence.

Recreational Therapy & Activities

The goal of our Therapeutic Recreation Department is to provide a stimulating variety of recreational programs on an individual, small and large group basis. Programming includes musical entertainment, games (trivia, bingo, cards bingo etc.), exercise, gardening, craft projects, movies, pet therapy, intergenerational activities, and community outings. The Director of Therapeutic Recreation plans a monthly schedule of activities, programs and special events. Calendars are distributed to your room and are also posted on every resident unit. Our therapeutic recreation staff determines activity interest by completing an activities assessment for each new resident. This assessment is a tool, which staff utilizes to develop individualized programs for residents.

Social Services & Discharge Planning

The Social Services department is comprised of full-time, professional, and educated Social Workers who are available to provide direct clinical and supportive services to both you and your family. The primary role of the Social Worker is to aid you in realizing your highest level of social and emotional functioning in your new environment, considering your current physical and cognitive status. Social workers are accessible to help meet family needs through a supportive relationship, but also through counseling services.

In addition to assisting you and your family and addressing the various concerns or problems that may arise, the Social Service Department staff also:

Assist residents and families in adjusting to the home
Respond to discharge planning needs of residents
Direct residents & families to community information and resources as necessary
Assist families as needed in making the financial transition to medical assistance

Respite Care

Respite Care offers families options for planning worry free short-term admission for loved ones if you want to plan a vacation, unexpected events occur, and even trial runs if considering long-term residency.

Hospice/Palliative Care

Hospice and Palliative services are available to support residents and families during this most sensitive time. One of the primary goals of our end-of-life care is to assist the individual to remain as pain-free as possible while maintaining personal dignity. Pastoral care support is also a fundamental part of this program to address spiritual needs.
