Available Services Provided in Long-Term Skilled Nursing Care
Senior long-term skilled nursing care can significantly improve seniors’ quality of life with care provided by experienced medical professionals. During admissions, staff will discuss the type of care needed, the types of medication they are taking, and any dietary restrictions they have to ensure they get the best care possible.
Here is just a small sample of the available services in long-term skilled nursing care:
- Daily living activities – An important part of senior care is helping them with bathing, grooming, dressing, going to the bathroom, and other tasks. It makes it easier for them to get out and enjoy spending time with other seniors.
- Medication management – Registered nurses will monitor vitals, dispense medications, and perform other duties to ensure seniors are comfortable and getting the care they need. They work closely with each patient and their therapists to monitor their progress and update the care necessary as their health improves or worsen.
- Physical therapy – Physical therapy is vital for the health and well-being of seniors. Seniors will work with physical, speech, and occupational therapists to regain strength and independence, reduce the risk of falling, and potentially regain some of their freedom.
- Transportation services – Seniors can get to their medical and health appointments on time without having to worry about finding a ride. A licensed and insured driver will transport seniors to and from the facility in a comfortable vehicle.
Long-term skilled nursing care plays a vital role in the care of your aging parents and loved ones. It can improve their chances of recovery after a major medical event and make their remaining time more comfortable.
