<description><![CDATA[We do not have such a program and I am not sure we could offer this around the clock.  We coordinate with family or emergency contacts to provide this support to residents when visiting the ED.<br /> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We have such a program, it is completely developed by and operated by residents. Support initially from Social Work and Admin. But they created the program, implemented the program and take responsibility for operating the program. I will ask if the program lead is willing to discuss.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are fortunate that we have two full time chaplains on our team.   They most often will meet the resident in the ER depending on the situation. (i.e. is family there?)  It works great and it doesn’t matter what faith (if any) that they are devoted to.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our community does provide an ER companionship service for IL residents during an unfortunate circumstance where they are sent to the ER. This is an optional service for a resident, who might not have a friend or family member to accompany them at that time.<br />We have a rotating list of employees who are on-call to accompany a resident if needed.<br />Our staff simply meets the resident at the hospital, ensures they are comfortable, and is there to provide a familiar face. Each scenario is unique; however, the expectation is to provide a friendly smile and comfort. Staff is expected to stay no more than 20 to 30 minutes.<br /> ]]></description>
