Grand Junction Nursing Homes Plus Elder Living

Due to its high monthly costs, nursing care is a significant financial burden on many patients. Nearly half of all residents do not fall under Medicare or Medicaid coverage and must pay for treatment out of pocket. Grand Junction skilled nursing facility costs fall around $500 per month below the Colorado median level. Private and semi-private SNF accommodations cost $6,585 and $5,741 per month, respectively.

Nursing facilities offer a wide range of services that help patients and their families in many different ways. Some institutions offers respite programs that give patients temporary residence to take some pressure off family caregivers. Working families may utilize adult daycare services because they cannot give their parent, relative or friend the continuous care they need. Grand Junction area facilities also provide specialized care services for conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s. All types of care are encompassed under the two main forms of nursing care, short-term and long-term care.

Short-term care is primarily for patients who are recovering from a recent acute medical incident that put them in the hospital. Around 75 percent of all short-term residents are funneled from a hospital to an area nursing home. Proper hospital care can be essential to a patient’s recuperation process. Based on surveys of patients’ previous hospital experiences, the best Grand Junction hospitals are Community Hospital and St. Mary’s Hospital and Medical Center. Once patients are admitted to a short-term nursing stay, they are guided along an individualized path of rehabilitation. Nursing personnel help patients focus on restoring their strength and function through auditory, physical, speech, occupational and respiratory therapy. Patients who have progressed in their recovery typically pursue assisted living facilities or in home care as their needs become less inclusive.

Long-term care residents have extended treatment needs for chronic illnesses and disabilities. Patients are admitted for medical conditions like hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, pulmonary disease, Huntington’s disease, vision impairment and cancer. Facility caregivers deliver coordinated care that responds to the extensive needs of each long-term resident. Personnel fulfill specific duties that aid patients in stabilizing or restoring their level of health. Nurses and doctors are responsible for administering routine check-ups and executing medical procedures like enteral tube feedings, dialysis, wound care, ostomy care, medication adjustment and injections. Non-medical personnel assist patients with daily living tasks and custodial care needs like help using the bathroom, dressing and grooming, traveling and mobility, eating, bathing and general hygiene. Recreational planners try to keep residents socially active and engaged by holding daily events, games, get-togethers and day trips.

Medicare and Medicaid are the two government programs that offer assistance for some of the cost of nursing care. Medicare is provided to the elderly and disabled population. If you are eligible for Social Security, then you are eligible for Medicare. There are certain requirements a patient must fulfill before Medicare benefits are activated. A qualifying hospital stay of at least three days is necessary. Their doctor must recommend them to skilled care. They must also have medical needs beyond solely custodial care. Your state’s Medical Fiscal Intermediary is a vital source for more information about Medicare. Medicaid is a joint State and Federal program for patients that have limited financial resources. Without Medicaid many nursing patients could never afford to pay for even a small percentage of the cost of nursing care. Medicaid helps pay for a sizable percentage of these costs. Eligibility for the program varies from state to state. Your State Health Insurance Assistance Program can tell you more information about Medicaid services.
