At the time of admission, a written agreement shall be executed
between the family and resident or responsible party (Power of Attorney).
Resident's rights and responsibilities are reviewed, as well as an explanation
of specific procedures that need to be followed at the facility.
We at La Jolla Nursing & Rehabilitation Center recognize
that this admission process, from it's initial decision to final transfer
and signing of forms, can be very traumatic for the resident as well as for
the family members. We are here to give support as needed, answer questions,
and give guidance during the transition period.
Following the initial assessment by nursing, other
professionals from other departments (e. g., dietary, therapeutic recreation,
social services) will visit the resident and family. An individualized plan
of care will be formulated for the resident to assist in recognizing problems
and setting goals; with approaches designed to meet the individual needs.
Residents, individual care plans are reviewed every quarter. Family members
are invited and encouraged to attend these meetings.
