A broad scope of care.

The RN’s role goes far beyond coordinating care with doctors and assisting with follow-up appointments. Our nurses also provide important education for patients and caregivers on medications, medical equipment, disease processes, diet and fluid restrictions, wound care, pain relief, home safety, and emergency preparedness. They can perform lab work, give injections, provide care for central lines, PEG tubes, and catheters. Our staff are always available for questions by phone and home visits as needed.

Nursing care tailored to the patient.

Every patient comes home with individual needs based on circumstances, disease processes, and recovery goals. Paradigm’s RNs have more than 100 years’ combined experience in assessing the big picture and tailoring each patient’s plan in caring detail. Specific priorities of personalized care:

• Disease education. How to recognize symptoms, when to call 911 and when to call a nurse, how to comply with a disease-specific diet, and the appropriate use of medications.
• Physician communication. Helping patients and their caregivers understand the physician’s clinical care plan and how to adhere to it for a successful recovery.
• Quality of life. Helping patients and caregivers achieve independence in managing their healthcare needs.

Determined to make a difference.

A Paradigm RN brings confidence that the patient’s care is being managed by an experienced professional dedicated to achieving the fullest potential recovery. The real value of this confidence becomes clear when everyone involved—patient, caregiver, physician, therapists, and nurses—feels connected in a proactive plan that’s working to restore the greatest possible independence and quality of life.
