Port StLucie Nursing Centers / Nursing Homes

The majority of short-term patients have recently had a stroke, aneurism, fall, invasive surgery, heart attack or other acute medical crisis that forced them to be hospitalized. Nursing staff help assemble a plan of recovery that tries to efficiently return patients’ strength and function to pre-crisis levels. Facilities have equipment and licensed therapists that help walk patients through occupational, respiratory, speech, audio, physical and other specialized types of therapy. Short-term care does not aim to help patients fully recover. Many patients typically move to assisted living or in home care to finish their recuperation.

As the first component of 75 percent of future short-term nursing patients’ medical treatment, hospital care holds an important place in the recovery process. Patients should seek the best hospital care possible in order to receive proper care during the first few days of treatment. Based on patients’ past hospital experiences, quality Port StLucie health care can be found at St. Lucie Medical Center.

Long-term care concentrates on providing advanced medical services to patients with moderate to severe physical or mental impairments. Long-term patients have diagnoses like Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer, multiple sclerosis and kidney disease that is often worsening in condition. Nursing staff try to restore or maintain a patient’s level of health through responsive and extensive courses of treatment. Nurses and physicians are on call 24 hours of the day to check vital signs and administer medical procedures like blood testing, injections, medicine adjustments, colostomies and tracheostomies. Non-medical personnel aid patients with dressing, walking, eating, bathing, basic hygiene and other activities of daily living. Social workers and recreational planners stimulate patients’ social welfare through events, activities, games, outings, potlucks and general companionship.

Nursing care costs in Port StLucie fall around $500 below the Florida state median. Semi-private and private SNF accommodations bear monthly costs of $6,083 and $6,540, respectively.

Seniors and their family members face many challenges when the need for nursing care arises. Transitioning to nursing care puts a great deal of emotional strain on all parties involved. For patients, they must often face a marked loss in social independence and may have to leave the comfort of their own home behind. Out their element and unhappy with being under skilled care, some seniors prove hard to properly treat. Quality caregivers understand these difficulties and do everything they can do provide reassurance to patients. Family members must sometimes grapple with feelings of guilt. Many parents ask their adult children to never resort to nursing care, even though nearly 70 percent of seniors over 65 will need a long-term stay in their lifetime. Putting aging relatives or parents in skilled care is often second guessed because of their wishes.

Our site aims to equip seniors and their loved ones with information about the many complicated issues surrounding nursing care, so they can ultimately find a SNF that matches their medical, financial and emotional criteria.
