Our on-site nursing team is a key component in our ability to provide the highest quality of services for our clients. Our nurses know our clients’ individual needs and provide personal, ongoing care. They give 24-hour support to the staff members in our homes. They are employed directly by Hammer, not contracted. They stay current with research and best practices by regularly attending seminars and conferences. They are members of the Developmental Disabilities Nurses Association, a professional organization for nurses serving individuals with developmental disabilities.

Other benefits of our on-site nursing team include:

• Health care plans created for each client; reviewed and updated annually
• Medication administration monitored electronically
• Regular assessment of health conditions
• Recommendations for occupational, physical and speech therapies as needed
• Consultation with other health care professionals
