Roles and Responsibilities(Required) I have read and understand the below.
The Abbie Hunt Bryce Home serves as a hand to hold and a place to stay, in partnership with the listed hospice or nursing agency. The role of our staff is to provide daily patient care, following the established, provided care plan. The Hospice/Nursing Agency will maintain all record and ownership of: physician statements, care plans, funeral arrangements, and emergency/familial points of contact.
