Skilled Nursing Services
Skilled nursing is important when deciding the future of your loved one. When we begin to become more dependent on others for our daily needs such as toileting, bathing, dressing, and eating, we may require assistance from skilled nursing staff.
What Is Skilled Nursing?
Skilled nursing is a service that helps seniors handle their activities of daily living safely and independently so they can continue to live normal, happy lives. This can include things like:
- Monitoring of vital signs
- Ensuring proper use of medical equipment
- Wound care
- IV therapy
- Injections
- Coordination of medical appointments
- Disbursement of medication at proper times
- Assistance around the home
Why Is Skilled Nursing Important?
A skilled nurse can assist your loved one to live a more normal life as they get older and require additional assistance. Seniors who benefit from in-home skilled nursing enjoy lower rates of disability and improved physical mobility scores.
Skilled nurses allow their patients to be more proactive about their healthcare needs, therefore improving their overall quality of life. Even as our physical or cognitive capabilities decline, the comforting familiarity of home combined with companionship is preferred to assisted living residences.
