We assume medical responsibility for our residents the day they arrive, and ensure that they receive community standard of care throughout their stay with us. New residents are given comprehensive medical, dental, and psychological evaluations. During their stay, we provide all the medical care that you would normally expect from your family physician. The unit consists of one full-time MD, one nurse practitioner, and one full-time dentist. We contract with a psychiatrist who along with our nurse practitioner provides psychiatric assessment and care. When residents need specialist level care, we work with local providers to ensure that the appropriate offsite care is provided. At discharge, we provide a minimum of 45 days’ worth of all medications a resident is currently taking to ensure that discharge does not adversely affect a resident’s health.
