Residents, visitors, and staff members who smoke are asked to do so outside in designated smoking areas. Residents will be allowed to self-administer and store medications in the room provided they have facility approval and a physician's order to do so. Unless a resident's condition is critical, we ask that families do not spend the night. However, if family members need to stay overnight, HCNC will be glad to provide a private family room. If family members cannot stay overnight, private duty services are available.
Additional charges apply for private services.
Our staff realizes that overnight and holiday leave days are beneficial to your total well-being. Requests for personal leave are handled by our nursing staff, and must be approved by your HCNC physician. All Medicaid residents must have prior approval for leave days and are financially responsible for leave days taken without approval. Your discharge date is determined by your personal physician and our staff after you have made a satisfactory recovery. If a resident is going to be removed or transferred to another facility, HCNC's business office must be notified one week in advance.
