We are fully prepared to manage
the use of oxygen and other special equipment associated with our
residents' needs.
If a resident becomes ill or requires a higher level of medical
assistance for any reason, the Registered Nurse in charge is
prepared to take the appropriate action immediately. If the need for
additional care occurs at night, our entire staff of Certified
Caregivers is prepared to act immediately according to a plan
prepared by the Director. There is a medical clinic in Random Lake
with a physician on call. In addition, there are two full-service
hospitals within 20 minutes of Random Lake and a community ambulance
service within two blocks of our door.
The services of the Visiting Nurse Association in Sheboygan County are also available around the clock for every resident of Gables whenever additional nursing support is needed.
Other Medical Specialists
Residents are visited regularly by an area foot specialist and a local optometrist and dentist are just a phone call away.
Daily Medical Care by a Registered Nurse
Our Two Registered Nurses keep complete medical records on each resident and these records are available to the physician upon request.
Medical Administration
Residents are responsible for purchasing their own medications. All the medications for each resident are
in locked storage and managed by our staff. A Registered Nurse handles this personally each week. Medications are confirmed, and placed in each resident's
locked storage for distribution by our staff. This procedure for handling medicines exceeds Wisconsin regulations for Community Based Residential Facilities and assures that all medicines are correctly dispensed as prescribed by each resident's physician.
In some cases, with approval of the physician, our residents may handle their own medications. We keep records and make sure that all
residents take their medicines as prescribed.
Regular Outside Medical Care
We help our residents make regular visits to their own doctors, dentists, podiatrists, and other medical specialists. We have a handicapped-accessible van and a driver to
transport residents to their medical visits in the area. This transportation is provided for a small additional fee.
Respite & Hospice Care
We are qualified to manage the special needs of residents who may
be in long-term recovery from serious illness, injury, or surgery.
We also offer respite care services for at-home caregivers who need
to take a break and get away. From one day, to one week, or more, we
care for your loved one just as you would, in addition, we are
qualified to provide comfort and dignity to those in declining
states of health. We work closely with several area Hospice
providers to ensure our residents can stay at Gables thru the
duration of their life.
