Caring vs. Providing Care
Our Supportive Living Nursing Service Program is focused on nurturing residents to help them reach their maximum potential. Our staff seeks to foster independence rather than dependence, and to be sensitive to the individuality, privacy and freedom of choice to which our residents are entitled. In short, care is something we do, not simply a service we provide.
Personal Care Services
Our program generates an individually tailored service plan that supports the resident's own ability to perform activities of daily living. Services we can assist with may include:
• Bathing
• Dressing
• Grooming
• Toileting
• Medication management
• Escorting
• Safety checks
• Dining
• Special services
Responding to Change
We meet the changing needs of our tenants by regularly assing them both formally and informally. We then implement plans of care that address the degree of need and frequency of interaction. We expect our tenants needs to change over time. Our trained staff notes trends that may demonstrate a higher level of need and then discusses and implements cautionary measures.
Team Work
It's a team effort that works best. In order to meet our residents' needs, we are in frequent contact with families as well as physicians, counselors or therapists to discuss any challenges we may encounter. It requires input and assistance from everyone to create a nurturing environment.
