Wound Care Team
The skilled nursing facility has interdisciplinary team members. In 2007, the Nursing Director established regular teams for different aspects of care. The skin care team included an educator, a wound care physician, a registered dietitian, a licensed practical nurse, a physical therapist and a certified nursing assistant. This nursing home has established a proactive program to prevent residents without pressure ulcers from developing them, unless unavoidable due to the resident’s conditions. Oceanview promotes the healing of residents who have on admission or have developed pressure ulcers in-house by providing necessary treatment and services, preventing infection, managing pain and preventing new skin breaks.
