 Long
Term Stays
For some residents, St. Otto’s Care Center is home, a
place where they can receive the best in medical care and personal attention.
This commitment to quality revolves around a primary resident care model
and an integrated care team that ensures that all aspects of a person’s
needs are being met.
Primary nursing means the same nurses work with
the same residents on virtually every shift thereby building strong relationships
not only with the residents themselves but with their family members as
well.
The care team brings nursing, activities, dietary,
rehab, social services and spiritual care personnel into contact with residents
and their families in care conferences. Together with physicians, the care
team develops individually designed care plans which take a holistic approach
to caring for the physical, emotional, psychological, medical and spiritual
needs of the resident.
Short Term Stays
For other residents, St. Otto’s Care Center is an intermediate
stop between the hospital and their home, where they can prepare themselves
to continue their independent lifestyles.
To assist with this goal are physical, occupational and
speech therapists who use a variety of rehabilitative therapies to ensure
a complete recovery from surgery, illness or injury. Nursing staff and
the entire care team work toward the same objectives as they follow the
integrated care plan to ensure that the resident possesses the strength
and flexibility to live independently.
A program specifically designed for post-surgery orthopedic
patients and other successes in restoring individual’s health, has established
St. Otto’s Care Center as a center of excellence in rehabilitative services.
