Each resident has an assigned caregiver and nurse. In addition:
- Each floor has a Nursing Supervisor to coordinate continuity of care from shift to shift, communicate with physicians, and carry out treatment orders and procedures.
- Certified Medication Technicians (CMTs) administer medications as ordered by the attending physician.
- Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) work closely with residents to support all activities of daily living, whether for help with ambulation, personal hygiene and/or meals.
