What is Skilled Nursing?

Skilled nursing provides advanced care to help individuals recover and maintain their health in a supportive and encouraging environment. From short-term rehabilitation after surgery to long-term care for chronic conditions, skilled nursing facilities offer a range of services tailored to your needs. Trained professionals are available seven days a week, giving you access to healthcare services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy when needed. Skilled nursing also focuses on your recovery and overall well-being, providing compassionate care and support to help you regain strength, independence, and confidence during your stay.

How Is a Skilled Nursing Facility Different From a Nursing Home?

There are many misconceptions about what a skilled nursing facility is, many believing it’s the same as a nursing home. However, skilled nursing facilities are designed for individuals needing short-term medical care or rehabilitation following a hospital stay. In contrast, nursing homes cater to those needing long-term assistance with daily living activities. Skilled nursing facilities, such as The Bradford, focus on recovery and provide a higher level of medical care with licensed professionals on-site. Unlike traditional nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities create a home-like environment with advanced clinical services and benefits, including:

  • Tailored medical treatments, including therapy services.
  • Licensed staff available 24/7 for comprehensive care.
  • Comfortable, welcoming environments with modern amenities.
  • Focus on rehabilitation and getting patients back home.
  • Social activities and dining options to enhance recovery.

Skilled Nursing Care for Hospice and Palliative Care Patients

Our hospice and palliative care program is dedicated to supporting individuals with critical or terminal illnesses. Palliative care focuses on improving the patient’s quality of life through pain management, alleviating symptoms, and reducing stress caused by the illness. It also addresses psychological and spiritual needs to ensure patients receive holistic support throughout their care process. Hospice care provides compassionate attention once treatment has ended, prioritizing comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being as patients approach the end of life. Our specialized skilled team provides nursing, emotional, and pastoral care to meet each patient’s unique needs.

How Much Do Skilled Nursing Facilities Cost?

The cost of skilled nursing facilities can vary depending on your individual needs, the type of care required, and the chosen payment methods. For many, Medicare is a critical resource for funding short-term stays and therapies in skilled nursing centers, provided eligibility requirements are met. While Medicare typically doesn’t cover long-term custodial care or independent living, it may assist with specific medical services through its varying parts, including inpatient care (Part A) and outpatient services (Part B). Medicaid may also be an option for those who qualify in some states. For further assistance or to clarify coverage details, contact our team, who can happily help you explore your options and understand potential costs.
