Overview

Registered nurses in residential elderly care work in residential facilities, mostly for older people, and accompany residents in their daily lives over a long period. Determining individual care needs, steering the nursing process and assuring care quality are reserved to them. They provide care according to residents' needs and give them orientation and a sense of security. Their workplace comprises residents' rooms, shared lounges and the staff or ward office. They keep in regular contact with relatives and work closely with physicians, therapists, nursing assistants and volunteers.
