Our facility is going to be changing a lot in the weeks and months to come. As the administration of the nursing home, I am going to make sure that this transition happens as smoothly as possible.

This facility wants to ensure all patients and residents that we want to make these changes as painless as possible.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each different type of communication. Traditional communication includes speaking face to face and mail (letters).

It can also be highlighted when there is an issue that needs resolving between people, direct communication is essential in this scenario and the way in which something is communicated can also have a profound affect on a circumstance or situation.
