24-Hour Professional Care
|
Working as a team of professionals, our nursing staff helps formulate
and update resident care plans. The nursing staff has the primary
responsibility for day-to-day care. They also help educate residents
and family members in skills required for discharge.
The
Director of Nursing (DON) sets the goals and standards for the
department, helps direct the care provided by the nursing staff, and
also makes sure the skills of the nursing staff are kept up to date.
Registered
and Licensed Practical Nurses (RN’s/LPN’s) provide a wide range of
physician-prescribed treatment, such as open wound care, administration
of medications, delivery of pain control, catheterization and so forth.
They also perform basic personal care, assess the resident’s condition
on an ongoing basis and keep medical records up to date.
Certified
Nursing Assistants (CNA’s) provide the majority of the day-to-day
personal care. Nursing assistants are required by law to have special
training for their duties. |
