Carolina Rivers Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for services as needed.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
