As you get new clothing, your nurse can help you arrange for name tags to be sewn in before your wear it for the first time. The nurse in charge of your care in the skilled nursing area will have ready information on your progress, while the Social Worker or Director of Nursing will be helpful in resolving problems or complaints. Visiting hours at Washington Odd Fellows Home are unrestricted. If there are people visiting from another town, or a family gathering is desired, there are private areas available for this purpose. The activity aide can assist you with this.
Family members are always welcome to observe or participate in activities.
Care Conference is also conducted for every resident, when nursing, activity, social service, and dietary departments meet to discuss progress and care preferences. Input from the resident and their family is essential in this process. We strongly encourage you to bring personal items and decorations to brighten and personalize your room. Personal chairs in care center rooms must be vinyl, plastic, or have a plastic covering around the seat cushion so that we can keep them clean. Extremely valuable or breakable items are brought in at your own risk.
