Pastoral Care
Case Management
A case manager monitors patients in all neuro units.
Their focus is on facilitating transitions through
discharge to an appropriate
setting in a timely manner. They facilitate a multidisciplinary
approach to discharge planning and ensure that
patients have the equipment needed whether they
return home, transfer to a rehabilitation facility
or are placed at a long-term care facility.
Ambassador-level Care
Our Patient Care Ambassador provides individualized,
one-on-one customer service to patients and their
families. The ambassador extends the reach
of the care team and make each patient feel welcome,
comfortable and important. The ambassador provides
the extra touch that makes a difference in the patients stay.
This may range from providing reading materials to
make the patients’ time pass more quickly,
or to being a good listener during times of stress.
The ambassador works closely with the manager and
nursing staff to inform them of concerns in an effort
to avoid problems.
Pastoral Care
Our patients have the option to receive visits from
a pastoral care representative. Pastoral care offers
comfort, prayer, counseling and spiritual practices
and rituals. This member of the team provides spiritual
support for patients and their families during their
stay in the hospital.
