Long-term care homes are getting more nurses.<\/p>\n

The province has provided funding for up to 75 new attending nurse practitioners in long-term care homes over the next three years, including 30 starting this fall.<\/p>\n

The new nurses will be the onsite primary care provider for patients. Working as part of a team of health professionals, these nurses will help strengthen the care that residents receive.<\/p>\n

The nurses will address the complex care needs of residents by delivering and coordinating services, including proactive assessments and screenings, follow-up care, timely specialist referrals, ongoing chronic disease management, and end-of-life care.<\/p>\n

As highly trained and experienced health professionals, nurse practitioners combine advanced nursing knowledge and a deep understanding of health management, health promotion, and disease and injury prevention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another example of ways we are improving care for residents of our long-term care homes,\u201d says Dipika Damerla, the province\u2019s associate minister of health and long-term care. \u201cThe addition of nurse practitioners is an investment to provide better quality of life and care. I want to congratulate all involved in this initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
