Nursing Services:
Our Director of Nursing, accountable for the overall quality of nursing care in the Manor, heads the Nursing Services provided on a 24-hour basis under the watchful eye of a Registered Nurse.
The Nursing Services team is comprised of the aforementioned Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurses and Resident Attendants.
Medications:
Medications are administered by trained personnel and are "Unit Dose" and packaged for each individual resident by our local pharmacy. Medications are not left in resident's room unless a written order is obtained from the physician. The Nursing Home maintains a supply of basic stock medication. Medications not paid for under the NB prescription drug program will be charged to the resident/POA.
Specialized Equipment:
We maintain a myriad of specialized equipment including lifts and transfer tools, weigh scales, etc. available to qualified staff to meet the needs of every resident.
Restraints:
The Wauklehegan Manor endorses a policy of least restraint. To maintain the best quality of life and prevent frustration and loss of dignity, restraints are used as a last resort when all other means have been tried and a clear danger to the resident or others remains.
Other:
E.C.G., X-Rays and other similar medical services will be provided through the McAdam Health Centre or Harvey Hospital based on availability. Arrangements will be made to have a family member accompany the resident to the applicable appointments.
It is the responsibility of the resident or family member to make arrangements for eye, dental, or other medical appointments outside of the Manor. The resident is responsible for any cost associated with transportation, examinations or professional staff required to accompany them.
