A lovely gazebo enables residents to enjoy the outdoors in a secured setting . We include residents on this unit in many large group activities in the main auditorium, especially music and dance performances. Clinical psychiatric nurse specialists work with residents and provide intervention and training for the nursing staff on behavior challenges and other direct care issues. Admission to our facility is an alternative to home care for individuals facing a progressive, life-limiting illness. Our staff provides compassionate care, excellent clinical services emphasizing comfort measures, pain management, symptom control and massage therapy.
Additional support is offered through our clergy.
We respect the wishes of each resident, including those expressed through Advance Directives, and we recognize the importance of allowing the competent resident to control all decision making. We collaborate with local hospices to provide the most compassionate care possible. For families who need a break from caring for a loved one at home, are planning a trip or would like to experience our caring environment before making a facility placement decision, we offer respite care. During this short stay, our friendly staff and our many activities will help make your loved one feel right at home. The heart of the Potomac Valley program is a customized plan of care for each patient.
