PALLIATIVE CARE
The need for palliative care is a growing and necessary role within skilled nursing facilities due to the aging population served and the increased clinical complications that are usually presented with this delicate diagnosis. Planning, implementation and evaluation of the resident is done by an interdisciplinary team. Nursing coordinates the plan of care and collaborates closely with the interdisciplinary team, family and resident as needed. Palliative Care is designed to provide clinical and spiritual support to both the resident and the resident family not only in the final days of life, but may also be appropriate with the diagnosis of a terminal condition requiring in depth education. Emphasis is placed on identification and treatment of primary symptoms that can respond to treatment, management of physical, psychological, psychosocial, spiritual needs, and expression of grief of the resident and family. Pain management is an integral part of care.
