| Alliance
Nursing is driven
by a single
ideal—to
provide quality,
compassionate
nursing that
preserves the
dignity of the
individual in
a home setting.
We do everything
in our power
to ensure a
positive experience
for every client
and family we
serve.
We
are licensed
to provide
hourly care
for long term,
chronically
ill, technology-
dependent
or developmentally
disabled children
and adults
in their own
homes or in
one of our Adult Family
Homes, and
maintain a
dedicated
nursing staff
to provide
this care.
Establishing
the relationship
Step
1
It
all starts
with a phone
call. Parents
or spouses,
case managers
or discharge
planners may
call to refer
a new client.
It is generally
best to call
three or four
weeks prior
to discharge
so that appropriate
arrangements
can be made.
The
majority of
case managers
and discharge
planners know
Alliance Nursing
from our reputation
in the community,
and are usually
familiar with
our specialty
services.
Families are
encouraged
to call for
full details
about our
services and
the process.
Step
2
In
receiving
a referral
for a new
client, we
review the
client’s
needs to ensure
a fit with
our services.
If the need
is not for
medically
intensive
home health
care, we may
refer to more
appropriate
providers.
Step
3
A
review of
provider home
health benefits
is completed
to ensure
funding for
hourly nursing
care. Alliance
Nursing accepts
a variety
of funding
sources to
provide hourly
care at home
or in a group
home.
Step
4
We
consult physicians’ orders,
and complete
a thorough
needs assessment
and treatment
care plan
with the client,
parents and/or
spouse. This
becomes the
blueprint
for directing
care, and
is signed
by the physician
and updated
every two
months. We
then assign
one or more
nurses to
the client.
Our nurses
frequently
work with
just one or
two clients,
and we keep
their shifts
as consistent
as possible.
Step
5
Prior
to the client’s
discharge
from the hospital,
an orientation
is coordinated
for the new
nursing staff
to have an
overview of
nursing care
needs, understanding
medical history
and nursing
goals. As
the transition
from hospital
to home occurs,
the Alliance
Nursing Clinical
Supervisor
stays in close
contact with
the family
and nursing
staff to coordinate
a smooth transition.
