Our residents' medical needs are of
primary importance. Our staff is specially trained to provide
expert care. No matter the time of day, there's always someone
to attend to your loved one and keep you informed of their progress.
Nursing services are provided
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The Director of
Nursing is responsible for the direct supervision of the nursing
staff. The Nursing staff consists of Registered Nurses,
Licensed Practical Nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants.
The nursing staff is responsible for
the personal and nursing care of our residents. This includes
medications and treatments as ordered by the resident's attending
physician. We also provide assistance with bathing, dressing,
grooming, hygiene, feeding and ambulation. Our goal is to
assist
our residents to remain as functional and independent as
possible; thus residents are encouraged to do as much as they are
able to for themselves.
If an emergency arises, our nursing
staff and sisters are prepared to handle it...quickly and
confidently. Quality nursing care around the clock provides
our residents (and you!) with the reassurance and affirmation
necessary for peace of mind and security...making Saint Joseph a
true safe harbor for your loved one.
