Care Plan Team
In
an effort to continuously respond to the specific requirements
of each resident, Elmhurst Extended Care Center offers
a care plan meeting which is based solely on the individual’s
needs. Care plan meetings are held shortly after admission
and are followed up by quarterly update sessions throughout
the year. Residents and their families are encouraged
to participate in these sessions. Care plans offer
peace of mind to the residents and their loved ones.
Who is the Care Plan Team?
The
care plan team is an interdisciplinary team that is made
up of the professional staff from all aspects of a resident’s
care.
The care plan team is lead by the Care
Plan Coordinator - the nurse manager who oversees
each patient's care plan and coordinates the care
plan meetings. The other members of the care plan team
are the Charge Nurse from the specific resident’s unit,
the Dietitian, the Social Service Director, the Activity Director,
and the Restorative Nurse Manager. If the resident
is participating in therapy, the Physical or Occupational Therapist is also
part of the care plan team.
Care plan meetings give families an
excellent opportunity to meet key personnel that are involved
with their loved one's care.
