Our Nursing Department

At Beth Juliana, our guiding principle is to ensure a full continuum of care, so that each resident receives the appropriate support throughout all the years of their stay – tailored to their changing needs.

An independent resident can benefit from the support of a dedicated in-house caregiver, who assists with daily tasks and helps them make the most of life at Beth Juliana. In the event of a significant decline in daily functioning, the Supported Living group provides appropriate care, with close attention to well-being and the preservation of abilities. And when 24/7 supervision and care become necessary, the Nursing Department is there to meet those needs.

All of this is provided under one roof – without the need to move – by a dedicated team specially trained for these levels of care, accompanying each resident from their very first day.

The principle of care clusters in the Nursing Department at Beth Juliana

The Nursing Department at Beth Juliana is divided into four clusters, each accommodating up to ten residents. Allocation to each cluster is based on the residents’ physical and cognitive condition, with one cluster specifically designated for psycho-geriatric care.

Each cluster includes private or shared rooms, designed for one or two residents. All rooms feature an en-suite bathroom, storage space, and the option to add personal furniture to create a warm, homelike atmosphere.

At the heart of each cluster is a central lounge, where meals are served. Residents can watch television there or receive visits from family and friends. Each cluster is surrounded by a well-maintained garden, offering residents the opportunity to step outside at any time and enjoy the greenery, the flowers, and the sound of birdsong.

A variety of activities take place within each cluster, tailored to the needs and preferences of the residents: physical exercise, workshops, concerts, and cultural programs. The department also features a therapeutic jacuzzi and a comfortable family room for private visits with loved ones.

Snoezelen Room: This specially designed space offers a calming and pleasant sensory experience for residents, using sounds, colors, and shapes to promote relaxation and well-being. 

The Nursing Department operates under license and supervision of the Ministry of Health, and is intended for residents of all ages who require either temporary or long-term care. When temporary care is needed for recovery, the department is available both to independently living residents and to individuals who come to Beth Juliana specifically for that purpose.

The department, with its four care clusters, offers a comprehensive range of advanced services, based on the latest geriatric medical knowledge. Beth Juliana’s high standards are reflected in the medical and nursing care provided by a multidisciplinary team of professionals: physicians, nurses, caregivers, social workers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, a dietitian, and a speech and language therapist.

Each resident receives a personalized care plan, fully integrated with the cultural program and both group and individual activating activities.

Professional team and strict supervision

A dedicated, experienced, and professional team supports each resident according to their individual needs and preferences — with full respect for their dignity and privacy. Upon entering the Nursing Department, a personalized care plan is created, aimed at maintaining independence and abilities for as long as possible.

The multidisciplinary team responsible for the Nursing Department at Beth Juliana includes doctors, nurses, caregivers, social workers, occupational therapists, and others. Each team member is an expert in their field, highly experienced, and always available to assist residents and their families.

The Nursing Department operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Health.
