Teamwork eases long-term care admissions.
The teamwork approach to admitting new residents used at St. Joseph Home of Chicago, Inc., is based on the philosophy that proper admission of new residents can help lessen the apprehensions as elderly people open the "forbidding" door to a long-term care facility. The team approach begins before an applicant is accepted and continues through the new resident's initial period of adjusting to a new home.
