Duties
A Community Living Center (CLC) is a VA Nursing Home. Unlike many nursing homes in the past, a community Living Center resembles "home" as much as possible. It is a place where Veterans can receive nursing home level care, which includes help with activities of daily living (e.g., bathing and getting dressed) and skilled nursing, medical care and hospice services. The CLC provides 24-hour skilled nursing care, restorative care, respite care, and hospice services. CLC Licensed Vocational Nurses provide face-to-face care with patients utilizing interpersonal skills in a fast paced environment. One-to-one care is provided for patients including vital signs, basic assessments, medication administration, wound care, infection control, skin hygiene & wound prevention. The LVN presence in the day to day care is a valuable resource that is complex and necessary. They are the intermediary between the RN staff, nursing assistant and other members of the care team.
