At Assisted Senior Living, we want to give seniors and their loved ones a greater understanding about the many complicated issues related to nursing care. We believe all patients deserve to end up in a nursing home that cares for their health and safety through quality, well-trained, compassionate and diligent caregivers.
Carson City nursing homes offer the provision of comprehensive levels of medical, custodial and social care. Nursing home patients have many different health needs that range from postoperative and post-surgical rehabilitation to long-term health management. Nursing homes, also called skilled nursing facilities, are tailored to keep their patients comfortable throughout their various lengths of residency.
Facilities employ a large network of caregivers, including registered and licensed nurses and physicians, certified nursing assistants, social workers, counselors, non-medical personnel, therapists and specialists. All nursing professionals are tasked with meeting the daily needs of each patient.
The cost of monthly residency at a Carson City skilled nursing facility is less than the Nevada median level. Private SNF rooms cost $6,803 per month, nearly $500 per month below the state median. Semi-private SNF accommodations clock in at $6,522 per month, more than $150 per month less than the Nevada median.
Nursing homes provide more than just the two main functions of nursing care, short-term and long-term care. Some facilities also have services designed to aid the family caregiving arrangement. Respite care allows in home patients to spend a short length of time under nursing care. These stays give family caretakers time off from the everyday rigors of family caregiving, so future treatment can be more focused and effective. Adult day health care provides family caretakers with an outlet for their patients to receive close medical attention and social opportunities during the workday. Certain area nursing facilities also have specialized care units that house patients who have a specific medical condition, like Alzheimer’s.
Short-term care is given to patients who are ordered by their doctor to spend time under nursing care after being hospitalized. These patients previously received hospital care for acute medical trauma like falls, aneurisms, cardiac arrest and strokes or invasive surgeries. Hospital care is these patients’ first contact with medical treatment. Proper care can shorten the time patients needs to spend in a short-term nursing facility. Based on patients’ hospital experience, the best hospitals in the Carson City area are Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center and Sierra Surgery Hospital. Short-term residents are walked along an individualized care program that aims to rebuild their functioning to its highest level. Patients will often undertake sessions of occupational, respiratory, speech, physical and auditory therapy to reach a level of health appropriate to move to less inclusive care. Assisted living facilities and in home care are popular destinations for discharged patients.
Long-term nursing care consists of extensive forms of medical treatment for patients who need support for conditions like congestive heart failure, osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, dementia, diabetes and emphysema. The severity of a patient’s condition is usually the deciding factor in whether or not a patient will be able to recover enough to seek a lower form of care. Terminally ill patients will eventually go on to end of life care. Facility caregivers are involved in every component of a patient’s treatment. Doctors and nurses see to the medical component of care by performing medical procedures like check-ups, enteral feeding tubes, wound care, CPR, injections, catheter care, wound care and dialysis. Patients who have trouble completing certain activities of daily living are given assistance by non-medical personnel. Leisure, relaxation, spiritual guidance and mental health counseling are all important aspects of nursing care. Many workers foster an environment that maximizes patients’ psychosocial well-being.
Finding a quality nursing facility can be daunting at first. Seniors and their families need to understand they are not alone in their planning and preparation. Resources like online databases and your local long-term care ombudsman can greatly increase the ease of landing on an appropriate nursing facility. Long-term care ombudsmen advise any prospective patient of nursing care. They give assistance on problems areas of certain local homes. Their intimate knowledge of area facilities also help patients find affordable care at the right location.
