About
Our Services
Nursing:
Under
the supervision of the vice president of nursing, nursing care is
provided 24 hours each day. The staff consists of registered nurses,
licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants and unit
service coordinators.
We
maintain a very high staffing ratio, and nursing care coordinators
on each unit are responsible for coordinating all nursing services
and related care.
Medical:
Medical
and professional services include internal medicine, family practice,
cardiology, geriatrics, dentistry, podiatry, radiology, pulmonary
rehabilitation, psychiatry, surgery, ophthalmology and orthopedics.
All of the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center consultants and sub-specialties
are available to Trump Residents.
Social
Work:
Social
Work intervention begins within 48 hours of the resident's arrival.
An evaluation is formulated through contact with both resident and
family to determine the nature of the resident's home environment,
the family support system, the resident's level of past and current
physical functioning as well as emotional strengths and coping skills.
A discharge plan will be formulated for the resident based on the
expected level of functioning upon completion of the therapy regimen.
This may include returning home with home care services or a transfer
to a facility providing the most appropriate level of care. An even
more important aspect of the social worker's role is to provide
mental health services to residents and families. Residents receiving
rehabilitation or LTC have typically undergone a major physical
and emotional trauma and therefore may display periods of depression
or anxiety. Counseling services are aimed at helping residents through
this difficult period.
Hospice:
Hospice
services are available at Trump Pavilion for those residents in
the terminal phase of disease who choose non-aggressive, comfort
care. The resident and/or family member can speak with the Social
Worker, at any point during their stay, about such services.
