Kalamazoo Skilled Nursing Facilities (MI Best Senior Living)

Expert care units are often separated from facility’s general amenities. The two main categories of nursing care are short-term and long-term care.

Short-term care helps patients recover from the effects of invasive surgeries, strokes, heart attacks, falls, aneurisms and other acute medical trauma. An estimated 75 percent of short-term patients receive hospital treatment prior to their nursing stay. Under short-term care, nursing professionals determine a personalized map of recovery for patients to restore their strength and functions to pre-trauma levels. On a prescribed basis, patients have access to physical, speech, auditory, respiratory and occupational therapy. Once patients reach a certain level of health, discharge planners give them guidance on less inclusive care options that can help them finish their recuperation. Many patients move on to assisted living facilities or in home residential care after a short-term stay.

Hospital care is the preceding mode of medical treatment for a large proportion of short-term nursing patients. It is imperative for patients to attempt to get the best hospital care possible because it can affect the extent of a patient’s recovery in the future. Quality health services in Kalamazoo, based on patients’ previous hospital experiences, can be found at Bronson Methodist Hospital and Borgess Medical Center.

Long-term care focuses on restoring or maintaining the health of patients with serious medical conditions like cancer, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson’s and general mental or physical decline. These patients’ illnesses and diagnoses necessitate treatment that can respond quickly to changing conditions. Caregivers must coordinate and collaborate to provide the highest level of medical support patients can obtain outside a hospital. Doctors and nurses administer periodic to continuous patient monitoring and perform medical procedures like medication adjustments, tracheostomies, colostomies, wound care, injections and intravenous therapy. Non-medical staff assist patients with basic hygiene and other custodial care needs. Social workers give a certain amount of companionship to patients by talking with them, accompanying them on outings, watching television or playing games with them and generally getting to know them on a personal level.

Kalamazoo skilled nursing facility costs are quite a bit higher than the national average and the Michigan median level. Private SNF rooms cost $8,213 per month, over $900 per month above the state median. Semi-private SNF accommodations in the area run a monthly cost of $7,300, nearly $600 per month over the median.

The financial burden of nursing care can be very damaging to seniors and their families. Around half of all nursing home residents must privately finance the cost of nursing care because they do not qualify for government programs and do not have long-term care insurance. Many families have become eligible for Medicaid because they have used up all their savings. They often burn through their retirement savings and exhaust home equity lines of credit just to cover the cost of health care.
