A care plan meeting is held for every resident admitted to Hillcrest, whether the resident requires short or long-term care. The initial meeting is scheduled about two weeks after admission and every three months thereafter for skilled residents; annually for Assisted Living residents. The care plan meeting provides an opportunity for staff, residents, and their families to discuss the resident’s status and develop a comprehensive plan of care. Team members can include the resident and their family/responsible party, care plan nurse, rehabilitation staff, dietitian, activities and recreation therapy directors and social workers. Any changes in a resident’s condition, however, may trigger the need for a meeting sooner. Family members and residents, of course, can directly access any care plan team member outside of these meetings.

A contact sheet, provided in the information Admissions Packet on admission, provides a list of staff members and their phone numbers. Please feel free to contact any of the staff as needed.
