Our care approach is patient-centered
and involves an integrated program of
therapies that address the total well-
being of our patients. For each
resident,
we create an individual care plan and
assemble a care team that may
include
specialists from several areas. The
goal
is to design a course of treatment and
therapy that best meets the needs of
the resident.
Where kids are special:
the Renaissance Pediatric Unit at Iliff
Like most nursing homes, Iliff cares for
many elderly residents. But we also
have a busy pediatric unit for children
with special needs and chronic
diseases. The Renaissance Pediatric Unit
at Iliff is a 37-bed unit providing
specialized, long-term and subacute
care to children from infancy through
21 years old.
The unit itself is compromised of a
combination of two to three bedrooms,
each having apnea monitoring or
additional equipment capabilities.
Private rooms are also available based
on isolation purposes, hospice, etc.
years.
Our pediatric unit is a bright,
cheerful place where youngsters are
cared for with skill and love. In addition
to our specially-trained staff, a large
group of volunteers visits regularly to
spend time with our children. These
volunteer "grandparents" read to our
children, chat with them, or simply rock
and comfort them. We also schedule
recreational and therapeutic outings to
those children who are well enough and
able to be transported.
The Renaissance Pediatric
Unit is one of only two such facilities of
this kind within the state of Virginia.
Oversight of the unit is provided by a
special ethics committee that includes
parent advocates, ethicists,
clergypersons, legal consultants and
school system representatives.
Volunteers Welcome
Volunteers are always welcome in both
the geriatric and the pediatric units at
Iliff. You can help with activities,
outings, meals, one-on-one visiting
and more. Interested in joining our
wonderful group? Contact us by phone
or e-mail for more info.
Special Outings
We believe it is important for both our
geriatric and pediatric residents to
enjoy outings into the community for
recreation, dining and shopping. Our
schedule includes special trips to
attractions like local parks, restaurants
and shops as well as to special events,
fairs and parades. Our fully-equipped,
wheelchair-accessible van makes these
outings possible for many residents.
