Nursing –

The Shelbina Villa has a qualified nursing staff on duty 24 hours a day.  All of our staff are Certified Medication Techs or Level 1 Medication Aides. Everyone at the Shelbina Villa is CPR and first aid certified. We employ a RN who works part-time and oversees the nursing staff along with a full-time LPN who serves as our Director of Nursing. 

The nursing staff at the Villa assists residents with their Adult Daily Living Activities such as helping with showers, dressing and toileting, including incontienence problems, along with any other help residents may need. The nursing staff distributes medication based on doctor’s orders along with making sure that labs and other orders are complete.  They are there to assist in making doctors appointments, follow ups, assisting with dressing, showers, etc., reorder medication and many other things even as simple as cleaning out a closet in a room. The staff is always ready to assist..

Residents are able to stay at the Shelbina Villa through any problems that they may have. The requirement that they have is they must be able to transfer themselves to a wheelchair, walker, cane, motorized scooter, or whatever means of assistance that they may choose to use to negotiation a path to safety (make it to the exit door) when the fire alarm rings. We practice this monthly so the resident gets a lot of practice with this drill.

Come to the Shelbina Villa and let our great nursing staff take care of you!
