GRCC ETHICS COMMITTEE
The Ethics Committee for Grant Rehabilitation and Care Center has been re-established. Ethics are “moral principles that govern a person’s behavior or the conducting of an activity.” At times, situations occur and there does not seem to be a clear-cut answer. These situations can involve our residents, staff members, or providers. Even though multiple solutions may have been attempted to solve the situation, the situation may remain, and this is when the Ethics Committee would be involved. The Ethics Committee will meet with everyone involved in order to obtain an appropriate solution.
At this time, the following people are members of the GRCC Ethics Committee: Dr. Caroline Armstrong, Norma Stanley, Dietary Manager, Trevor Harman, Nursing Home Administrator, Christina Thorne, Director Of Nursing, Cassandra Hanlin, Assistant Director Of Nursing, Pastor Larry Hakes, Amy Rotruck, Social Services Assistant, and Ravenna O. Redman, Director of Social Services.
If you believe that you may have an situation that needs to be reviewed by the Ethics Committee, forms are available for you to download or you can get one in person at the front and back nurses’ desk in the filing cabinet, and at Social Services. Please complete the referral form and return to the Social Services. Once returned to the Social Services office, the committee will start the Ethics Review process.
If you have any questions regarding the Ethics Committee, please contact us in the Social Services. Again, thank you for allowing us to serve your resident.
