Hoopeston Community Memorial Nursing Home
Our Nursing Home’s stellar reputation is known throughout the area – and with good reason. A caring and compassionate staff provides the highest level of care possible in a manner that preserves a resident’s right to choose.
Pioneering. It’s a word that employees, residents and family members will likely hear or experience while in our nursing home. Pioneering is a newer concept and is based on providing residents the opportunity to make choices about their care and their life within a “homelike” setting.
An important element of our facility’s Pioneering Program is the buffet style dining experience that residents participate in each meal. Residents are provided a wide variety of choices during each meal and they work with a staff member to make their selections fresh off the buffet cart. During the breakfast meal residents can choose items off the buffet cart or request to have their eggs cooked fresh to their specific tastes.
The most crucial piece to a successful Pioneering Program is the unique opportunity that all levels of staff have been given to freely interact with the residents to keep the environment as “homelike’ as possible. From the Housekeeper to the C.N.A. to the Maintenance Technician, each staff member becomes an important part of each resident’s life – and each of them interacts and gets to know more than just the resident’s name.
The facility works diligently to keep the same caring staff whenever possible to promote the development of a caring relationship between the residents and staff. By maintaining consistency in this area, staff members get to know about the resident’s family, about their likes and dislikes and about the way they like their “home” to be.
The Pioneering Program also promotes resident choice. The facility’s talented employees within the Activity Department continuously strive to meet each resident’s specific activity needs and desires, taking into account each resident’s own personal preferences. Special activities occur throughout each day to provide residents numerous opportunities to socialize with other residents and with the employees. Special “one on one” activities are also planned for those residents that prefer or require that setting.
In addition to providing a more “home like” and less “clinical” setting, our 75 bed facility is connected to the hospital. This close proximity to a hospital provides extra assurance to the resident and their families that if needed, acute care services are just a few feet away. | |
