The Kingsport Skilled Nursing Facilities Resource

Residents most often need nursing stays because they have problems that cannot be appropriately treated in a lower level of care but are stable enough to not warrant a hospital visit.

The monthly cost of residency at a Kingsport skilled nursing facility is slightly below the Tennessee median level. Private SNF accommodations cost $5,749 per month, less than $100 per month under the state median. Semi-private SNF rooms run a monthly cost of $5,262, about $100 per month beneath the median.

Some nursing facilities provide services for family caregivers and their patients. Respite care consists of brief stints of nursing care. This gives family caretakers the opportunity to pursue obligations that may have been weighed down by caregiving. It also allows patients a trial period of nursing care if they are thinking of transferring to a SNF in the future. Adult day health care is designed to give working family caregivers a place for their patients to stay during the workday. Patients not only receive proper medical treatment but are also given plenty of opportunities for recreation and socialization.

Short-term care and long-term care are the two most general forms of nursing care. While many facilities focus only one form of such care, some are equipped to handle patients who need either type.

Short-term care helps patients with post-operation and post-hospital recovery. Many patients recently suffered medical trauma like falls, strokes, aneurisms and cardiac arrest. The decision to move to a short-term nursing facility is made by the patient’s doctor. Hospital care is important because it can set the tone for the rest of a patients’ recuperation process. The best health care centers in Kingsport, based on patients’ recent hospital experiences, are Wellmont Holston Valley Medical Center and Indian Path Medical Center. At a short-term stay, patients are put on an individualized care program that is optimized to help them rebuild functioning and strength. Rehabilitation is often centered on auditory, respiratory, occupational, speech or physical therapy sessions. Released patients have usually not fully recovered and still need further medical treatment. Patients commonly transfer to an assisted living facility or in home care arrangement after short-term stays.

Long-term care is for patients who have terminal, chronic, serious or progressive medical conditions like Parkinson’s, Fibromyalgia, paraplegia, emphysema, atherosclerosis, dementia, diabetes mellitus or hypertension. These patients are given close examination and health management around-the-clock. Nursing personnel are ready to respond to changing symptoms and to see that patients are as comfortable as possible. Nurses and physicians perform medical procedures like routine check-ups, enteral feeding tubes, medication adjustment, ostomy care, injections, tracheostomies and wound care. Non-medical personnel aid patients with daily living tasks like walking, feeding, toileting, bathing and grooming. Social services like outings, counseling, recreational activities and spiritual service are aimed at giving patients many outlets for socialization to improve their psychosocial well-being.

With about 70 percent of seniors over 65 expected to need a period of long-term care in their lifetime, it is important to plan ahead for the unexpected. One increasingly popular option seniors and their families are using to protect themselves from the high cost of nursing care is long-term care insurance. These policies help cover the cost of prolonged nursing care that could otherwise wreck a family’s finances. However, the monthly premiums for long-term care insurance are not affordable to those without a lot of disposable income or those in fixed incomes.
