What is Skilled Nursing?
Designed to offer 24-hour care from licensed medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, and specialized therapists, our O’Fallon, MO, skilled nursing services may be given to seniors for either a short time period or long-term. Skilled nursing can greatly benefit seniors who:
- Have been recently discharged from the hospital after a surgery
- Require rehabilitation after a fall
- Are recovering from a stroke or another brain injury
- Need intravenous (IV) medication
The high-level medical services provided by skilled nursing professionals are more comprehensive than other types of senior care. In most cases, the goal is to help patients recover and transition into a lifestyle that values their independence. Examples of skilled nursing care include:
- Injections
- IV therapy
- Wound care
- Vital signs and medical equipment monitoring
- Short-term rehabilitation, such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, and respiratory therapy
Long-Term Care for Seniors
Long-term care includes a range of services and supports that help with basic activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. It refers to custodial care, rather than medical care. Seniors that receive long-term care still need 24/7 assistance, and can include those with:
- Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions
- Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other cognitive disorders
- Chronic conditions limiting mobility and the ability to live independently
- Terminal medical conditions
- Permanent disabilities
- Chronic severe pain
In addition to the hands-on assistance, long-term care gives seniors access to licensed medical professionals if necessary. They can enjoy social events and other activities that contribute to an independent lifestyle, while still receiving help with tasks when they need it.
