Smoking
The Board of Directors and staff of North Central Health Care are committed
to providing and promoting a healthy environment for you and your visitors.
As a part of this commitment, we have chosen to pursue the goal of a tobacco-free
environment within the facility. By becoming tobacco-free, we believe we
will assume a role of health care leadership.
Visitor and employee smoking occur only in designated outdoor areas.
In the Health Care Center building, smoking continues for residents within
the designated areas.
We appreciate and thank you for your cooperation and attention to our
smoking policy and tobacco-free goal.
Alcoholic Beverages
Residents may have alcoholic beverages with the approval of their attending
physician. Any alcohol brought to the facility must be stored at the nursing
station. Please keep in mind that other residents may have health conditions
or medications, which disallow alcohol consumption, therefore, sharing
alcohol with peers is not appropriate in the nursing home.
Access to Records
You may ask to review your records at any time. Your nurse, physician,
and/or social worker will arrange this opportunity for you and be available
to answer any questions you may have. Your medical record is confidential
information and is only seen by those persons involved in your care and
treatment and to officials, surveyors, or auditors as authorized by Wisconsin
law. Family and others may review records with written informed consents,
reasonable notice, and during reasonable business hours. Copies of records
are available for a reasonable charge.
In the same manner, we will not give information about you to any caller
without your consent.
