We have a Clinical Care Coordinator (CCC) at each facility. We have 24/7 Registered Nursing at both facilities and are proud that we operate above the RN Care Minute targets. We have dedicated additional software that focuses on individual risk management for each resident. This software enables us to identify gaps more effectively, but more importantly, it enables a structured corrective action plan and process that has accountability built in at every point.
We have a solid clinical governance structure and systems in place. Both of our facilities have recently been re-accredited with full accreditation (no unmets) and have the full 3-year accreditation period provided.
We also have a supportive and professional Board Clinical Governance Committee that meets regularly.
