Nursing Services

The Resident Care Team at Harbour View Haven is made up of representatives from all departments/services and is co-ordinated by Nursing Managers to provide holistic care. The nursing team members develop a Care Plan with objectives that encourage independence, implementing the necessary supports for residents with varying physical and cognitive impairment.

Registered Nurses provide professional nursing service 24 hours a day. As the coordinators of the Care Team and the Nursing Units, they will professionally answer or direct your enquires to the appropriate person or department. Upon admission they will meet with families and residents to discuss topics such as Advance Directives and Consent for Care, and will coordinate the admission process with other departments to ensure a smooth delivery of service.

Licensed Practical Nurses work closely with the Registered Nurses and the residents administering medications and completing treatment. The Licensed Practical Nurse will assist at the time of the admission with the collection of vital medical information for the residents chart and care plan.

Personal Care Workers/Continuing Care Assistants work directly with the residents 24 hours a day. They welcome residents and families to the facility by orientating them to their room, roommate and unit. The care given to the resident goes beyond bathing, dressing and feeding: PCWs/CCAs assist our residents in all areas of daily living.
