Dear Prospective Residents, Family and Responsible
Parties,
Wells
Nursing Home takes great pride in the care and services we provide. As a nonprofit organization, we are always looking
for new ways to improve quality on behalf of our residents and clients.
Wells Nursing Home has pledged to support and be part of Quality First, an initiative led by the American
Association of Homes and Services for Aging (AAHSA) in collaboration with other aging services organizations.
AAHSA Quality First is a philosophy of quality and a framework for
earning public trust in aging services.
When the
leadership of our aging services organization signed the AAHSA Quality First Covenant, we demonstrated our special stewardship
responsibility to maintain:
1. Continuous
Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement
2. Public
Disclosure and Accountability
3. Patient/Resident
Family Rights
4. Workforce Excellence
5. Public Input and Community Involvement
6. Ethical Practices; and
7.
Financial Stewardship
I would be pleased to talk with you about Quality First or to respond
to your questions about quality care and quality of life at Wells Nursing Home.
Our dedicated team -staff
and volunteers- work very hard to make Wells Nursing Home a good provider of care and services for you.
Thank you for considering our healthcare facility. We invite you to call us at 518-762-4546 and set up a tour.
Sincerely,
Neal E. Van Slyke
Administrator
