Fremont Nursing Homes Information

Professional caregivers will map out a personalized plan for recuperation to get the patients back on their feet as soon as possible. This plan will typically entail some kind of therapy, whether occupational, speech, respiratory or physical therapy. While some recovering patients will still need less inclusive levels of care after being discharged from a short-term stay, usually in the form of assisted living or in home care, many patients return to their normal lives. Long-term care patients are admitted for moderate to severe physical or mental impairments like dementia, Parkinson’s, liver health problems or general physical decline. Some long-term patients are bedridden and need to be aided with activities of daily living like dressing, washing, eating and walking. Medical professionals deal with complicated medical procedures and health management. Non-medical personnel provide social interaction and support for long-term patients.

Most long-term care stays are the cause of a degrading health condition. The majority of short-term nursing stays result from an acute medical crisis requiring a hospital stay. During their hospital stay, a doctor will approve and require a nursing home stay if necessary. High quality hospital care will allow both a good base for the patient’s eventual recovery and highly informed recommendations for local nursing facilities. In Fremont, the hospitals with the highest patients’ hospital experience ratings are Washington Hospital and Kaiser Foundation Hospital Fremont/Hayward.

Fremont’s nursing care costs are much higher than the national average and elevated over the California median level. Prospective patients can expect to pay $7,832 and $9,155 per month for a semi-private and private nursing home, respectively. Insurance plans often give very limited coverage for nursing care. Medicare will only cover the first 100 days of a physician approved SNF stay. The first 20 days of the stay will be fully covered, but the last 80 days are subject to a copayment fee.

It is important for future nursing care patients to research as much as possible. Our site wants to aid that research by giving seniors and their loved ones essential information so they can find a financially, emotionally and medically viable option. Searching for nursing homes is a difficult process. One of the most effective ways to find the right facility is to visit the site. SNFs with happy patients and caregivers and lively social engagement are more likely to deliver proper, dedicated, attentive and quality care.
