As we wrap up National Nurses Month, we couldn’t be more grateful for our nurses. Our nurses provide hands-on care and vital support for our individuals. In addition to making regular wellness visits, they are also available 24/7 for emergencies and on-call support. Our individuals and their families can rest assured that they are taken care of and given the best treatment and care in our region. They have continually provided quality care for those around them, so we’re taking this opportunity to highlight why Threshold’s nursing program stands out among others.
Integrated and Specialized Care
Threshold’s integration of nursing within our programs ensures that care is truly holistic. Our nurses address physical, behavioral, and daily-living needs under one department making sure that every individual is cared for to the best of their ability. Because of our quality nursing program, our individuals receive:
- Better care within their programs: Nurses collaborate directly with our staff and DSPs to identify and address health issues before they escalate. This way, clients are receiving health care immediately from health care professionals.
- Consistent and Personalized Care: Clients benefit from consistent, personalized health plans grounded in their daily lives. Our nurses work with clients regularly so that clients are comfortable with their healthcare professionals and they receive quality care regularly.
Person-Centered Support
Threshold is dedicated to crafting individualized care plans for each of our clients. Every individual has different needs and preferences. This is why our nurses don’t operate under a one plan fits all philosophy, but rather, they build each client’s care plan specifically for them. By ensuring customized care, our clients are able to receive:
- Respect for personal preferences: Plans factor in lifestyle preferences, cultural background, and daily routines.
- Ongoing evaluation: The care strategy is regularly reviewed based on the client’s progress toward their goals.
Foundation in Community
At Threshold, our individuals are surrounded by a community of people with whom they can socialize, spend time, and be supported by. Delivering services in community settings supports meaningful social engagement, skill development, and independence for all of our clients. For Threshold clients, this provides:
- Real-world skill building: Nurses provide support in homes, workplaces, and community venues, helping to build real world skills.
- Greater social inclusion: Clients are naturally integrated into community life rather than being isolated in institutional environments.
Experienced and Dedicated Staff
Threshold’s nursing staff are trained and certified. They consist of licensed LPNs and Medical Assistants under an BSN-educated Registered Nurse. They bring their expertise and training to each client in order to give them the best care they can receive from professionals working on their care plans. By receiving care from trained medical professionals, our clients receive:
- Consistent, High-Quality Care: Our in-house structure, led by a BSN-educated Registered Nurse, strengthens accountability and ensures high-quality, consistent care that maintains compliance with regulatory standards.
- Unwavering Support and Availability: Clients and families are provided peace of mind knowing nurses are available 24/7 for emergencies and on-call support, extending care beyond regular wellness visits.
- Strong Patient Advocacy: Nurses develop close-knit relationships and actively collaborate with DSPs and other care team members to proactively monitor for health issues and advocate for the client’s needs in all settings.
At Threshold, we do everything to ensure that our clients are receiving the best care possible. When you choose Threshold for yourself or for a loved one, you can rest assured that you’re in the best care with the best staff.
