Glendale Nursing Homes Information

The most common events that put patients in a short-term stay are strokes, aneurisms and falls. Short-term patients have access to physical, speech, respiratory and occupational therapies so they can rebuild their strength. The objective of short-term care is to help patients recuperate enough to either return home or move to less comprehensive levels of care. Long-term care includes a wide variety of services for patients with chronic and serious medical conditions. Doctors and nurses are responsible for medicine management and performing medical procedures like IV management, wound care, blood work and other laboratory work, personalized care planning and continuous health assessment. Non-medical staff help with activities of daily living, including dressing, washing, eating and walking. Social engagement and wellness programs keep up a certain level of interaction between patients and caregivers through events, trips and basic companionship.

Nearly 75 percent of short-term stays are preceded by an acute medical crisis in need of a hospitalization. If further medical treatment is needed after a patient’s hospital stay, their doctor will require a nursing care stay. Some hospitals have nursing facilities annexed to their health care centers. The best hospital care will give patients effective treatment during their initial period of recuperation. The most quality health care services in Glendale, based on patients’ hospital experiences, are at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center and Phoenix Baptist Hospital.

Glendale nursing care costs sit right around the Arizona median level. Private SNF rooms have a monthly cost of $6,844. Semi-private SNF rooms cost $5,658 per month.

The prospect of moving to nursing care is both financially and emotionally difficult for many seniors and their families. Medicare insurance only covers a small percentage of care, so those without long-term care insurance may have to find ways to finance care through private means. Nursing homes are viewed in a negative light due to reports of improper and negligent care. This does not mean all facilities operate in this manner. There are many skilled nursing facilities with professional caregivers working to fulfill all the medical and social needs of their patients.
