Nursing Care

¿Qué debo considerar al buscar un hogar para mi ser querido?

When seeking a home for your loved one, it’s crucial to focus on key aspects. Ensure the environment is safe, meeting specific care needs. Prioritize cleanliness standards and a quality dietary program with fresh, healthy meals. Look for engaging activities promoting mental well-being and also emphasize regular communication between staff and families for a supportive environment.

Selecting a facility can be overwhelming, choosing your priorities and tailoring your search accordingly will help ease the process. You can use our facility locator to help find a community near you that meets your requirements: https://creativesolutionsinhealthcare.com/locations/

¿Cómo sé si mi ser querido debe ser internado en un asilo de ancianos?

Determining if your loved one needs placement in a nursing home involves assessing their overall well-being and specific care requirements. Consider factors such as their ability to perform daily activities, medical conditions, and the level of support they need.

You may need to consider your care options if your loved one:

Can no longer take care of themselves due to their declining physical, mental, or emotional health.
Begins having difficulty bathing, eating, and completing other basic daily tasks.
Requires more care and attention than the current caregiver can provide.
Needs constant supervision to prevent them from wandering.
Has been discharged from the hospital and requires temporary skilled nursing before returning home.
Was recommended to be placed in a nursing home by a doctor or other physician.

Consult with their healthcare professionals for guidance and discuss the option of a nursing home if their care needs surpass what can be provided in their current environment.

What care services do you offer?

We offer short term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, as well as assisted & independent living options. Cada admisión, como cada residente, es única. Nuestro coordinador de admisiones experto puede guiarlo a través del proceso de unirse a nuestra casa. No importa si se está transfiriendo desde su hogar, hospital u otro centro de atención médica, podemos ayudarlo.

What types of Rehab do you offer?

Our skilled therapists provide personalized programs to help residents attain the highest levels of independence. Trained and licensed therapists provide speech, occupational, and physical therapy to the residents.

When is Skilled Care needed?

Skilled Nursing facilities provide a higher level of medical care and support for seniors with complex medical needs. Residents in Skilled Nursing facilities often have chronic health conditions, disabilities, or post-surgery recovery needs that require regular medical attention. Skilled Nursing staff can give medications, manage wounds, and provide around-the-clock care to ensure residents’ health and safety.

If you or your loved one experience any of the following, skilled nursing may be right for you:

Needs transitional care following a hospital stay
Persistent or non-healing wounds
Stroke recovery
Joint Replacement therapy
Respiratory care
Diabetic rehabilitation
Palliative care
Other acute medical conditions

Finance

How do I pay for Nursing Home care?

There are many ways that you can finance your nursing & care needs. Our facility administrative team will work with you to determine the best payment options for you. A complete, expert review of your available plan benefits will help us maximize your coverage—at the lowest possible cost to you. Nuestros beneficios son verificados por expertos en la materia con amplios conocimientos en cobertura de atención a corto y largo plazo. Le ayudaremos a aprovechar al máximo los beneficios exclusivos de su plan. Nos esforzamos por informarle sobre sus límites de cobertura con anticipación, ayudándolo a tomar las mejores decisiones financieras para su atención. Nuestro objetivo es la total transparencia financiera.

What insurance do you accept?

Below is a non-comprehensive list of the types of payments that our facility’s accept. However, each insurance provider and plan have their own structure & policies, which is why your benefits are verified by subject matter experts with extensive knowledge in long-term and short-term care coverage. We will help you take full advantage of your unique plan benefits. We strive to make you aware of your coverage limits in advance, helping you make the best financial decisions for your care. Our goal is full financial transparency.

Am I covered by Medicare or Medicaid? What’s the difference?

Understanding your coverage is essential. Medicare and Medicaid are both government programs, but they serve different purposes. Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. It generally covers hospital stays, doctor visits, and other medical services.

On the other hand, Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage for individuals with low income. Eligibility and benefits can vary by state, and it covers a broader range of services than Medicare. Medicaid often covers long-term care services, including nursing home care, for those who qualify based on income and other criteria.

To determine your coverage, it’s crucial to check your specific circumstances and consult with our team. We can assist in verifying your eligibility and guiding you through the process to ensure you have a clear understanding of the benefits available to you.

What insurance do you accept?

Most of our buildings accept:

Seguro médico del estado

This is not an all-inclusive list and we may still be able to help if you do not see the option you’re looking for. Verify your coverage with the team at your building of interest.
