Intensive Care
The TCMH Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a four-bed unit that provides additional care and support for patients who are critically ill.
Patients may be admitted around the clock for close observation and for monitoring after a major surgical procedure. The ICU is fully staffed with nurses who are all specially trained to care for your loved ones in an advanced setting. The patient nurse ratio is 2 to 1, giving your family member the extra attention they need.
ICU visiting hours are 8:15 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily. ICU patients are limited to two visitors at a time, and visitors may be asked to leave the unit during medical emergencies and shift report times.
Care for elderly patients
More than 38% of the patients admitted to TCMH are over the age of 65 and, as such, face a variety of health risks specific to elders. TCMH is pleased to have joined Nurses Improving Care for Health-System Elders (NICHE), a national program to improve care for older hospitalized adults.
Through this program, TCMH will undertake a number of steps to recognize and prevent or treat these health problems. In the first phase of the program TCMH will begin providing extra training to a core group of Geriatric Resource Nurses who will become leaders and role models to their peers on the nursing units.
