Reading Nursing Centers - Skilled Nursing Homes

Short-term care delivers rehabilitation services to patients who have recently been hospitalized for acute medical trauma like falls, strokes, heart attacks, surgeries and aneurisms. Short-term care is often the intermediate stage of a patient’s efforts to fully recover from the ill effects of their incident. Patients follow a carefully and professionally designed path of recuperation that is typically largely based on occupational, speech, respiratory or physical therapy. These programs help patients reach a level of health where they can pursue less comprehensive levels of care. Popular destinations after nursing care are in home residential and assisted living care.

Hospital care, as the preceding form of medical treatment for many short-term nursing patients, is an important component to their recovery. Patients should attempt to receive the best possible hospital care they can do get a leg up on their recuperation. Top notch health care services in Reading, based on patients’ hospital experiences, can be found at St. Joseph Medical Center and Surgical Institute of Reading.

Long-term nursing care focuses on administering extensive and extended social and medical treatment to patients with moderate to severe mental and physical disabilities like dementia, hypertension, cancer, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s. Patients often have illnesses that are deteriorating in condition. Caregivers must correspond to give a collective effort to treat the elaborate and complex symptoms of each patient. Licensed and registered physicians and nurses are on call to perform health check-ups and medical procedures like blood testing, medication adjustments, tracheostomies, colostomies, wound care and intravenous therapy. Non-medical personnel support patients who cannot independently complete activities of daily living like eating, washing, dressing and walking. Patients are encouraged to be as socially independent as possible. Recreational planners coordinate games, events, activities, dinners and outings to stimulate social interaction within the home.

Reading skilled nursing facility costs are much higher than both the national average and the Pennsylvania median level. Private SNF rooms cost $8,273 per month, over $1,800 per month higher than the state median. Semi-private SNF accommodations run $9,113 per month, more than $1,500 per month above the median.

Currently, many seniors and their families pursue assisted living care in lieu of nursing care. They often see nursing homes as places where patients will not improve in health or as places where patients become numbers on patient list. However, this creates problems because assisted living facilities are often not up to the task of treating the advanced care needs of patients who should be in nursing care. Many assisted living patients end up having to move to nursing facilities, evidence that are not seeking the right type of care in the first place. Although there is a large stigma associated with nursing homes, many facilities are well equipped and staffed with compassionate, well-trained and dedicated caregivers.

Our site wants to help seniors and their families understand the complex issues relating to nursing care, so they can find the best possible fit for their personal medical, financial and emotional needs.
