Early morning: The calm before the day begins
As dawn breaks, the soothing sounds of the Pacific Ocean provide a peaceful backdrop to the start of a new day at The Kensington Redondo Beach.
The early hours are quiet, filled with anticipation. LVNs gather at the nurse’s station for a brief check-in, sharing updates on overnight developments and reviewing care plans.
The atmosphere is a harmonious blend of focus and camaraderie, setting a positive tone for the day ahead.
LVNs begin their day
With residents beginning to stir, LVNs make their rounds. Morning medication administration is a top priority, but it’s approached with care and attention.
Each LVN takes the time to greet residents with a warm “good morning” and gently encourages them to join the breakfast gathering in the dining room.
These interactions are vital for building trust and rapport, often leading to light-hearted conversations about the ocean views or daily activities.
Mid-mornings: Personalized care tailored to each resident
As breakfast unfolds, LVNs pivot to providing personalized care.
They assist with daily living activities like dressing, grooming, and preparing for the day.
At The Kensington, the emphasis is on fostering independence, with LVNs offering support that encourages residents to maintain their autonomy.
In the memory care neighborhood, LVNs employ specialized techniques to help residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s feel secure.
Whether using music therapy to spark memories or guiding residents through familiar routines, LVNs blend skill with empathy to create a comforting environment.
They understand that every resident is unique—some may need more time to get ready, while others might require gentle encouragement to engage in activities.
LVNs: Hands-on resident care
Our LVNs bring unique skill and compassion to every aspect of their care.
For them, it’s not just about completing tasks—it’s about understanding each resident as an individual.
Some residents may prefer a slower pace in their routine, while others may need extra encouragement.
Beyond administering medication and medical care, our LVNs are dedicated to promoting overall well-being, ensuring residents stay hydrated and comfortable throughout the day.
Our LVNs help create a positive and personalized start to every day by tailoring their approach to each resident’s preferences.
Afternoons: A balance of health monitoring and social connection
By midday, The Kensington buzzes with activity. Residents participate in various events—physical therapy, art classes, or simply enjoying the beachside air.
LVNs are always nearby, ensuring that health needs are met while also facilitating fun and social connection.
Health monitoring is paramount; LVNs regularly check vital signs, ensure medications are taken as prescribed, and update care plans.
But their roles extend beyond the clinical; they also organize painting sessions or assist residents in connecting with family via video calls. These moments of interaction are invaluable, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
For our LVNs, these moments of connection make the job so special.
It’s not uncommon to see them joining residents in activities or simply sitting with a resident, offering companionship and a listening ear.
Evenings: Wrap up the day with comfort and care
As day transitions to evening, the atmosphere shifts to one of peaceful reflection.
LVNs assist residents with medications, mobility, and getting ready for bed, prioritizing comfort and security.
They strive to end the day on a positive note, ensuring that every resident feels relaxed and reassured.
These quieter moments are filled with genuine care, where a kind word or gentle touch can make a significant difference.
LVNs take pride in creating a calming environment, helping residents unwind and prepare for a restful night.
