FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is skilled nursing care?

A: Skilled nursing care provides 24-hour licensed nursing supervision and assistance for patients who need ongoing care and/or rehabilitation services. This may include post-surgical care, wound management, medication administration, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other specialized services.

Q: How long can I stay in a skilled nursing facility?

A: The length of stay varies based on your individual needs and insurance coverage. Medicare typically covers a specific number of days for skilled nursing care per benefit period (with conditions), while some patients need longer-term care. Your care team will regularly assess your progress and work with you to determine the appropriate length of stay for your recovery goals.

Q: What’s the difference between skilled nursing and assisted living?

A: Skilled nursing facilities provide medical care with licensed nurses available 24/7, rehabilitation services, and can handle complex medical conditions. Assisted living focuses on helping with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication reminders, but doesn’t provide skilled medical care. Skilled nursing is appropriate for those recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or those who need prolonged medical supervision.

Q: Can I bring personal items for my room?

A: Yes, we encourage residents to bring personal belongings to make their room feel more like home. This typically includes photos, favorite blankets, clothing, and other meaningful items. However, there may be restrictions on certain items for safety reasons, and space limitations in shared rooms may apply.
