The Department of Nursing is under the direction of a qualified nursing administrative staff. The ultimate responsibility for the functions of the Nursing Department rests with the Director of Nursing (DON). The nursing staff and the interdisciplinary care team in conjunction will develop a plan of care with your attending physician. The Nursing Department makes certain that qualified nursing personnel are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to the administrative staff and professional nurses, each nursing unit is staffed with appropriate numbers of Certified Nursing Assistants. Staffing patterns and unit assignments are based upon the level of care required by the patient, and consistently exceed regulatory guidelines. Your room is equipped with a call bell system. You are encouraged to use your call bell to request assistance when needed. Increasing and maintaining your independence is a vital component of your care. Our focus is, and will always be, on promoting your optimal level of functioning.
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.
