Unit Details:
Sisters do not wear identification and may use either a religious name or birth name. The resident population also includes 4 Friars and 1 Brother.
Residents range from independent care to skilled nursing and memory care, with diagnoses including CHF, HTN, DM, old strokes, Alzheimer's disease and dementia; some residents require total care.
LPN duties include administering tube feedings, checking blood sugars, administering insulin and vaccinations, giving oral, subcutaneous and intramuscular medications, and performing skin assessments.
LPNs provide hands-on care and assist CNAs; the role is not limited to passing medications.

Patient coverage varies by area: one LPN covers memory care (15 beds), one covers skilled care (15 beds), and the LPNs split assisted care (20 beds).
