Our Social Services department plays a crucial role in the lives of our Residents. At La Plata Nursing Home we are constantly striving to change the prevailing nursing home culture from simply delivering services to sustain life; to one of infusing life with the warmth of living. We feel even though one's physical strength may be waning, this does not mean one stops living. Our Social Services department challenges themselves to normalize life, celebrate life, and create opportunities for your loved one to live life to the fullest.
We realize each person is unique with rich histories, interests, talents, skills, needs, wants and wishes. It is by listening to their stories we are able to build on our Resident's strengths and capabilities, affirming life at every opportunity. We strive to help each resident see the value in and of their life experiences.
La Plata Nursing Home recognizes that relationships are the building blocks of life. They are the stimulus for growth as we draw nourishment for one another. It is Social Services goal to build these relationships that will help each Resident exercise choice at every opportunity. We do this by encouraging our Residents to take risks, challenging the status quo, and by strongly advocating for what our Residents want and or need or in their best interest regardless of real or perceived roadblocks. At La Plata Nursing Home we believe it is the right and need of our Residents to increase control of their lives, make their choices and decisions. We enable our Residents to direct their own care; valuing the person over the task to be performed; advocating and figuring out how to make things happen for that person; by truly valuing the autonomy, independence and self determination of each person. Social Services gives everyone a voice.
