Rose Glamoclija, RN, Keeps Patients Safe During Trying Times
When Rose Glamoclija, RN, launched Boca Nursing Services 27 years ago, she never imagined life in the age of COVID-19.
“I have always believed that in-home care is best for patients – but for reasons other than those we are dealing with today,” says Glamoclija. “Patients always do so much better being cared for at home.”
The family-owned, concierge, private-duty home care company, which serves Palm Beach, Broward, Martin and St. Lucie counties, began implementing stringent safety measures as early as February and continues to do so today to ensure the safety of its staff and patients.
“We are implementing all of the precautionary measures and minimizing the number of staff who are in contact with our patients. At the same time, we continue to provide patients with the same excellent level of care they were receiving prior to COVID-19,” says Glamoclija.
For her, the job has meant keeping on top of the latest safety protocols 24/7 while educating clients and staff as the situation changes. All staff members have been prescreened and are continually evaluated to ensure they are healthy and following all protocols. Not only have staff members been provided with proper protective gear, but Boca Nursing Services also has provided clients with gloves and masks.
Glamoclija is concerned that some elderly clients are neglecting their nursing care needs because they fear contracting the virus.
“I want them to know we are here, and we are providing services using the utmost safety protocols,” she says.
All employees are licensed, insured and bonded and have undergone thorough criminal background checks. Not only have many of her employees been with her for years, many of her patients have as well. The long-term success of Boca Nursing Services can be attributed to Glamoclija’s caring and commitment.
“I will continue to diligently work on providing the safest possible care for our clients,” she says.
