| Staffing qualifications and details | The home is staffed 24 hours a day, with caregivers who are competent and receive ongoing training. A registered nurse is available 24 hours a day. Support staff, include, recreation officer, cleaning and kitchen staff. We feel that it is important that you stay with your own Doctor. We do have a house GP. After hours (like all Rest homes, now as there is no longer an after hours doctor on duty in the Manawatu) we are required to contact hospital A&E. We use the blister packing for safe medication administration, which is managed, by the home's contracted pharmacy. If you wish to self-adininister medications and your Dr. or Advocate is happy with this we have a policy for this. We will provide a lockable drawer where the resident and senior staff in charge has access. We will still have to complete administration records required by the Ministry of Health. Care is focused on the individual's needs and an ongoing lifestyle plan is developed to facilitate care, in conjunction with the family. | |
