Skilled Nursing Services
Skilled Nursing
The Cardiac Connection has a team of compassionate, competent and experienced nurses who are attentive and responsive to the needs of our clients, their families and the communities we serve.
Each staff member has met the State of Virginia’s educational and training requirements for the services they provide. We encourage, support and require continued education of each service provider.
How It Works
A Registered Nurse will first conduct a preliminary evaluation of the type of services needed in your home. Family members, physicians and other health care professionals will work together to develop a customized plan of care. The care plan includes details about the services to be provided, it's frequency and duration of care. The care plan is reviewed weekly and is updated to meet your changing needs.
