We consider variability in care needs across day, evening, and night shifts, including weekends and holidays, and adjust as necessary. We confirm needs are met by engaging in frequent communication with residents, their families and representatives with regular care conferences, rounding, quality assurance audits, resident group meetings, availability of suggestion/concern forms and email surveys.
