Kennewick Skilled Nursing Centers And Care Information

Certain institutions administer specialized care for a particular health issue, like osteoarthritis.

The majority of short-term care patients are recovering from acute medical events, like heart attacks, strokes, aneurisms and falls, that pushed them to seek hospital care. After being hospitalized, these patients need time to recover from the ill effects of their medical event. Under a short-term nursing stay, they look to restore their functioning to its highest level and rebuild previously lost strength. Nursing personnel map out a personalized course of action for patients. These plans often include occupational, physical, speech or respiratory therapy. Discharged short-term patients often still have medical treatment needs. Many of them pursue assisted living or in home care options.

It is important for future short-term nursing patients to receive the best area hospital care possible. Effective medical treatment during the first few days after acute medical trauma can affect how a patient responds to treatment down the road. Quality health care in Kennewick, based on patients’ hospital experiences, is provided by Kennewick General Hospital and Lourdes Medical Center.

Long-term nursing patients have moderate to severe physical and mental impairments that are often progressively getting worse. They look for nursing care to stabilize or reverse this trend. Patients with diagnoses like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, dementia, cancer, multiple sclerosis and kidney disease require elaborate and complex forms of treatment. All facility nursing professionals have a certain role in collectively giving patients proper supplies and services. Doctors and nurses are on call around-the-clock to monitor vital signs and to administer medical procedures like medication adjustments and administration, wound care, injections, colostomies and tracheostomies. Non-medical personnel help patients who cannot complete activities of daily living on their own. Social workers attempt to give patients companionship by accompanying patients during activities and trips.

Nursing care costs in the Kennewick area are above the national average but below the Washington median. Semi-private SNF rooms bear a monthly cost of $6,844, more than $400 per month below than the state median. Private nursing home accommodations cost $7,148 per month, more than $800 under the median.

In today’s society, nursing homes are often associated with negative connotations. Some people view nursing homes as institutions that can cause further health problems or often provide improper care. Although some facilities do have a history of poor care practices, there are ways to avoid such facilities. Online state databases are required to log complaints made against all federally certified nursing homes. The databases offer searchable results for staff information, performance measurements and facility inspection results. Your local long-term ombudsman is also intimately aware of complaints or disputes about area nursing homes.
