To Our Family Members and/or Responsible Parties:
Mountainview Nursing Home is pleased to inform you of the work we have been doing in the area of pain management. Pain is an important area that could effect the quality of life for your loved ones and our residents.
Our nursing staff has re-evaluated our practices and has promoted a facility-wide commitment to a heightened awareness of pain management for all our residents.
Through continuing education for our staff and our affiliation with professionals, we have addressed the importance of the prompt recognition of pain, the assessment of pain, and the treatment options for pain management.
Working together with help and input from our residents, their families, our staff and physicians, we will continue to work for positive outcomes for residents experiencing pain.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to stop by the Director of Nursing' s office or give Mrs. Robin Jones, RN, D.O.N. a call at 864-582-4175.
Thanking you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Wilson K. Dillard
Administrator
