We embrace Primary Care Nursing. Our Clients have an ongoing relationship with one primary nurse.
The primary nurse accepts responsibility for service delivery, and when necessary, for coordinating the Client’s nursing care.
The primary nurse develops professional care familiarity with our Client by understanding their needs, so he or she can plan you care.
The primary nurse also ensures that your services are continuous and consistently delivered in the event that a secondary nurse may be required.
Continuity of care is accomplished through one-on-one reporting, case conferencing and the maintenance of clear client records.
