Topic > Proposed Resident Biography for the Nursing Home

In order to assist our staff in providing personalized and meaningful care to the residents who have made this community their home, we ask you, as a key member of the care team, provide us with a brief historical profile of the resident you represent. This biography, as well as the "Book of Life Stories" that we hope will interest you (see last page), will provide us with important information to incorporate into their lives with us. This will allow us to provide care tailored to their particular needs, interests and pleasures in life.
