Skilled Nursing Facilities
Skilled nursing is a type of medical service for those who require a hands-on approach to care following a hospital stay due to illness, injury or surgery. It’s available for those who require consistent medical support and assistance with activities of daily living.
Skilled nursing is also beneficial for those living with a chronic condition, including:
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Heart disease
- Ostomy conditions
We pride ourselves on providing a personal touch to clinical care. Embassy skilled nursing services include physical, occupational and speech therapy programs as well as custodial care and personal assistance.
How Skilled Nursing Leads to Long-Term Healing
Skilled nursing is a comprehensive approach in which each patient’s physical, mental and emotional needs guide their care plan. Your loved one will receive support from a dedicated team of nurses, aides, specialists and therapists who strive to meet them on their level.
Your loved one’s rehabilitation will change according to their progress, allowing them to achieve short- and long-term wellness goals. Skilled nursing includes periodic assessments, so care staff can identify opportunities for adjustments or improvement.
What to Expect from a Skilled Nursing Facility
24/7 Skilled Nursing Care
Skilled nursing is available on a short- and long-term basis. Our skilled nursing facilities offer multi-day or multi-week care plans for those transitioning home or into an extended care community. Our expert staff is available around the clock to deliver consistent care and address emergencies quickly.
Comprehensive Rehabilitative Services
Recovering from an illness, surgery or injury may require different types of rehabilitative therapy. We partner with skilled physical, occupational and speech therapists to create customized programs designed to address each patient’s specific needs. We can help your loved one regain strength, improve mobility, relearn daily living tasks and enhance their communication.
Personalized Care Plans
Your loved one receives a thorough assessment upon arrival at an Embassy skilled nursing facility. The results of that assessment and information provided by your loved one’s primary physician and specialists are the foundation upon which we build their care plan. We use that information to create tailored interventions to provide support and enhance their recovery at a comfortable rate.
Nutritious Meals and Specialized Dietary Services
A well-balanced diet can boost your loved one’s recovery and rehabilitation. Our skilled nursing facility staff includes dieticians and nutritionists who can create meal plans to address your loved one’s unique dietary needs. They can identify nutrient deficiencies, swallowing difficulties and other conditions that can affect dietary habits.
Social and Recreational Activities
Your loved one’s health and happiness are our priority, so we strive to provide a warm, home-like atmosphere. Creating an engaging environment supports social interactions and allows us to keep residents emotionally and mentally active. Your loved one can participate in planned and spontaneous activities and outings at their discretion.
Medical Management and Coordination
The physicians at Embassy Healthcare work closely with our nurses and clinical staff to deliver the same level of care you’d expect in a hospital setting. Our nursing staff tends to post-operative wounds, oversees medication management, delivers infusion treatments and provides support for chronic conditions. We also work closely with primary care physicians to promote consistent care coordination.
How Skilled Nursing Improves Quality of Life
Your loved one has easy access to a variety of comprehensive skilled nursing services when they stay in an Embassy Healthcare community. That allows for prompt response times and disease management to enhance their comfort and wellness.
Having that clinical support can reduce their stress and emotional discomfort, further promoting their peace of mind. While skilled nursing focuses on rehabilitation, it also involves education to ensure better outcomes even after your loved one has left our facility.
Family involvement is crucial, and we encourage you to participate in your loved one’s care, attend activities and ask questions. Doing so will help you help them as they continue on their wellness journey.
What Makes Embassy Healthcare Different?
We adhere to extensive internal criteria, procedures and protocols to ensure consistency in care. Embassy Healthcare must meet stringent qualifications set by federal and state governments to be considered certified skilled nursing facilities.
Each member of our nursing team has completed the necessary education to earn their nursing degree and licensure and participated in continuing education to maintain their credentials. Several members of our care team have additional training in specialized areas such as pulmonary and cardiac nursing care.
We also prioritize a one-on-one approach to healthcare. We get to know each resident as a person before we work with them as a patient. That means getting to know their likes and dislikes as much as their clinical history.
Some of those requirements include but aren’t limited to:
- Nursing staff levels
- 24-hour LPN or RN availability
- Nursing staff qualifications
