Our licensed nursing staff works in concert with residents and their families, as well as the rest of our team, to ensure every resident’s medical and personal care needs are met and that services are adjusted as those needs change. In addition, if you are admitted for a respite stay, recuperative care or short-stay rehabilitation, our discharge planning support will help to ensure that everything is ready for your return home.

We are pleased to be one of the first in our area to utilize Point of Care, Millennium Pharmacy System and “It’s Never 2 Late” Brain Fitness.

Point of Care is a real-time computerized resident information system which enables licensed nursing staff as well as nursing assistants to access resident care needs and assignment information. This enables them to complete documentation at the time the observation and care occur. Armed with laptops and using a simple point-and-click interface, users can document with accuracy and speed.  Security allows users profile-based access to specific information and documentation, which helps to ensure security of personal health information.  Nursing assistants are now “charting as they go” instead of waiting until the end of their shifts and trying to remember what happened throughout the day. It also enables the charge nurse to monitor resident care from any computer.

The Millennium Pharmacy System is a computerized system designed to deliver significant benefits to the long term care industry, including increased nursing efficiency and enhanced resident safety.

When you have a few minutes, take time to ask one of the nursing staff about both Point of Care and Millennium.

“It’s Never 2 Late” Brain Fitness Program offers our residents the use of an adaptive computer system designed to encourage interaction with family, friends, the Internet, and customized programs.
