1. Describe how you think the resident and family might feel at the time of admission.
2. What will you do to help with the feelings you just described?
1. The resident and family may feel anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain at the time of admission. They may be nervous about the transition to a new environment, worried about the level of care the resident will receive, and unsure about what to expect in terms of daily routines and interactions with staff and other residents.
2. To help with these feelings, I will make sure to greet the resident and family warmly, introduce myself and other staff members, and provide a welcoming and supportive environment. I will take the time to answer any questions they may have, provide information about the facility and services offered, and offer reassurance that their loved one will be well taken care of. I will also involve them in the care planning process, encourage open communication, and address any concerns or issues promptly to help alleviate their anxiety and build trust. Additionally, I will provide resources and support for coping with the transition and adjusting to the new environment.
