This internal analysis of Sunshine Generations Nursing Home will depict Nursing Home’s uniqueness in the market and its ability to remain competitive while still providing exceptional care to its residents.
First and foremost, Sunshine Generations has consistently met and exceeded both State and Federal Nursing Home regulations and standards. We have Nursing Home inspections conducted annually which includes the residents’ rooms and appearance, the living spaces, staff qualification and attributes, food and nutrition, and last but definitely not the least, overall safety and care. We specifically employ a “two-in, two-out rule” which means for every 2 nurses required by state and federal law, there are 2 more nurses assigned per day. This is to insure proper medical care and to reduce the chance for medical errors. This gives us the highest standard of care not commonly seen in the industry. A team work approach is also employed where staff physicians, nurses, nurse aids, and family have a say in the treatment and care of our residents. At any point any staff member or family member...

    Additionally, it excludes the entire hospice portion of the business. Home health has traditionally been Amedisys’ core competency, but other sectors will become increasingly important because they will assist with keeping patients in their home longer. Moreover, further diversification will require a more general vision. In turn, a more appropriate vision statement might be, “Drive growth by delivering a full range of holistic health care services, while cultivating a culture of compassion.”

  • The Role of the AD Nurse

    693 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a provider of care an AD nurse uses a systematic approach in all areas. Using the process of assessment, analysis, implementation, and evaluation the nurse is able to be consistent and efficient when providing care. As a provider of care the AD nurse must assess a patient’s health status, gather medical history, plan, coordinate, and implement care. The nurse will use continual assessment and evaluation in order to ensure the best outcome for the patient. The AD nurse must develop a therapeutic relationship with the patient in order to effectively treat and provide advocacy. During my clinical rotation I was able to implement many of these steps. I provided daily physical assessments, took vital signs, implemented hygiene care, fed patients, re-positioned patients and changed bed linens. During each shift I was respons...

  • Adult Day Care

    Then the last room is for the adults that have Alzheimer's or some kind of dementia and they do a lot of very simple activities because they have a hard time remembering things. The center has two nurses one full time nurse and on part time nurse. They both mostly do a lot of the typical role of a nurse but what I like the most is when they talk to the adults one they talk to them on a level that they can understand and two they really care about making the time that they spend there is fun and caring because some of the place that these adults go back to are not the best. The facility contributes the care of those with mental health issues by providing activities and care appropriate to their mental illness. What I learn about nursing advocacy and care management is that you need to talk and interact with the adults there on a level that they can comprehend because they will get more out of that then just providing the same care and doing all the same activities that some of them will not know how to do. That is one issue that one of the nurses brought up is when they get audited they have to talk to everybody the same way and treat everyone the same and sometimes you can do that but that facility has so many different adults there with different issues they can’t always do that for
