provide the best possible care.

bath or shower daily.

verbal response to your call light no longer than 5-10 minutes after you
turn it on. It is our goal to respond to your call light as quickly as
possible. Early notification of your needs is important.

You can expect
adequate pain relief. Measures to assure this include notifying your nurse
early regarding your need for pain medication. Early notification allows
your nurse to set up the medication, bring it to you, and prevent the pain

medication is not working so we can provide other comfort measures. Please
inquire about pain medication before going to therapy.
