Tuscaloosa Skilled Nursing For Seniors

Short-term care consists of the provision of rehabilitation services for patients who have recently been victims of falls, aneurisms, strokes, heart attacks and other acute medical events. Nearly 75 percent of short-term patients were required by their doctor to seek nursing care while in the hospital. The main goal of short-term care is to help patients recover to a point where they can weigh less inclusive care options. Nursing professionals help patients get back on their feet as soon as possible through an individualized plan of recuperation. Patients often undergo physical, speech, occupational or respiratory therapy sessions to minimize the ill effects of their medical event. Discharged patients often seek assisted living or in home residential care.

Since a large proportion of short-term nursing patients are under hospital care prior to nursing care, it is essential for those patients to receive the best possible treatment, under the circumstances. Quality hospital care can shorten the eventual duration of a patient’s nursing stay. Knowledgeable health professionals can also give patients recommendations about area SNFs. Tuscaloosa’s best hospital, based on a patients’ previous hospital experiences, is DCH Regional Medical Center.

Long-term care implements extensive and responsive forms of care for patients with moderate to severe mental or physical disabilities. Patients are often bedridden to due diagnoses like dementia, cardiovascular disease, hypothyroidism, cancer or Alzheimer’s. Nursing professionals correspond with each other to provide appropriate medical treatment to restore or maintain each patient’s health. Nurses and doctors are on call 24 hours a day for the performance of medical procedures like blood testing, injections, colostomies, tracheostomies and medication adjustments. Non-medical personnel help patients who cannot complete activities of daily living by themselves. Social workers give patients companionship by talking with patients, accompanying them on trips or to activities, or just by watching television with them.

Tuscaloosa skilled nursing facility costs are nearly 15 percent below the national average and more than $200 per month below the Alabama state median. Semi-private and private nursing home rooms cost $5,019 and $5,323 per month.

Today’s popular opinion sees nursing homes as facilities that often deliver improper or even abusive care to its patients. While these feelings are based in reality, extending the cases of poor quality treatment to the rest of the industry does not wholly fair. There are many nursing homes that offer the finest standard of custodial, medical and social care. These facilities pride themselves on helping patients achieve their personal health objectives. They have committed, compassionate, well-trained and attentive caregivers who use the industry’s best care practices. Our goal is to give seniors and their families essential information regarding the complex aspects of nursing care. We want to aid their search for finding a nursing home that fits their financial, emotional and medical needs.
