Making the Transition Easier

      The skilled nursing teams at Harbour Health and Hawthorn Health suggest the following ideas to assist you during this transition:

• Share as much information as possible regarding your or your loved one’s needs
• Get to know the unit manager
• Use your social worker as a resource
• Bring any concerns to the unit manager or social worker
• Encourage participation in activities
• Visit as much as possible and encourage friends and family to visit as well
• Use our community rooms to celebrate family events
• Bring in photos, pictures, etc. to place in the room
• If you find any terminology confusing, please ask for further explanation
