Services We Provide
Residents in nursing facilities are under the care of physicians, who visit regularly and are
responsible for the residents' overall plan of care. Physicians certify the need for nursing
care and may serve as a resource for information about long-term care facilities in the
community. When individuals enter the facility, physicians write orders for necessary
medication and play a role in the development of the residents' care plan, including
restorative and rehabilitative procedures, special diets, and treatments.
All nursing facilities offer the professional skills of a registered or licensed vocational
nurse. Nursing services include assessment, treatments, injections, coordination of
care, and medication administration. Rehabilitative services such as post-hospital
stroke, heart, or orthopedic care are available in addition to related services such as
