In the event of a resident’s own doctor being unable to care for him/her for any reason, a list of local doctors willing to visit the Home, will be supplied. The Nursing Home will not appoint a doctor to attend any resident.
Specialist appointments can be organised on referral from your Medical Practitioner.
In event of any emergency the Nursing Home reserves the right where the resident’s own doctor is unavailable to have another doctor attend as nominated by the resident or their Medical Practitioner.
Clermont will ensure that each resident is referred for appropriate health services when needed and that any recommended treatment is received by the resident, including provision of , or access to, appropriate aids and equipment.
A dentist is available to provide dental care if necessary. Alternatively, residents may ask their own dentist to attend, provided she is willing to do so.
