Comprehensive Care Team Comprehensive Care Team

Each member of the CareMeridian staff is specially trained in caring for the catastrophically ill and injured. Physicians, RNs, LVNs, CNAs, RN case managers, physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapists, directors of nurses/administrators, and social workers are some of the professionals who comprise our highly specialized staff at each CareMeridian facility. We provide licensed, skilled nursing care 24 hours per day, and are particularly proud of our staff-to-patient ratio of 1:4 - one of the highest in the industry. In addition, our staffing contact hours comprise a minimum of seven hours to each resident every day.

At our congregate living health facilities, our professional rehab staff provides a wide range of services. Our licensed clinical social workers consult with the staff and families regarding access to all appropriate benefits for each patient. The social worker also acts as a counselor for families, patients and staff, assisting them with the emotional/social adjustments associated with the patient's injury or illness.
