Short-term care helps patients recuperate from the effects of falls, strokes, heart attacks, aneurisms and other acute medical events. An estimated three of every four short-term visits is preceded by a hospitalization. Under short-term care, patients are assisted down a path of recovery that may include occupational, physical, speech or respiratory therapy. The main function of short-term care is to improve a patient’s level of health to a place where he or she can pursue less inclusive forms of care. Patients who are almost ready to be discharged are given professional guidance on the future options that best suit them. For some, returning to their normal lives is a possibility, while others need assisted living or in home care.

Hospital care can affect how a short-term visit pans out. Quality hospital care can increase the likelihood that a patient will be correctly diagnosed a nursing home stay, can affect the eventual time of recovery and can give patients access to knowledgeable information about area facilities. The best health care services in the Vancouver area, based on patients’ hospital experiences, are delivered by Peacehealth Southwest Medical Center, Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center and Legacy Emanuel Medical Center.

Long-term care offers extensive and extended medical and social treatment to patients with moderate to severe physical or mental illnesses. Patients often seek long-term care due to an existing condition, such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, multiple sclerosis, hypothyroidism or kidney disease, overgrowing their previous form of care. In many cases, this decline in a patient’s state of health can be reversed by nursing care. Nursing professionals give periodic to 24/7 monitoring, management and evaluation, depending on the patient’s needs. Doctors and nurses prescribe a proper course of action, administer check-ups and perform medical procedures like colostomies, blood testing, injections, intravenous therapy and medicine adjustments. Non-medical caregivers are present to assist patients with activities of daily living. Social workers provide a level of companionship by spending time with patients.

Vancouver’s nursing care costs sit at nearly $500 per month below the Washington median level. Semi-private and private SNF accommodations cost $6,844 and $7,604 per month, respectively. This high monthly cost can burden many seniors and their families. Even though around 70 percent of seniors age 65 and above will need a long-term stay in their life, they are often unready for such a transition. Financially, it is important to know your options so you can be prepared. Medicare recipients are only covered for 100 days of nursing care stays in one benefit period. The first 20 days of stays are full covered. The last 80 days have a daily copayment charge. Medicaid helps cover the nursing care costs of those with lower incomes, but it is not accepted at all facilities. Patients without access to either Medicare or Medicaid have the option of buying long-term care insurance to safeguard against the possibility.
