Skilled nursing care is a short term care solution for seniors who need ongoing medical treatment as they recover from a disease, illness, or injury. Skilled nursing homes are long term permanent housing solutions for seniors, and they offer more medical care than assisted living or memory care facilities. Skilled nursing care is administered at nursing homes, hospitals, private residences, and sometimes their own specific facilities. To find a nursing home or skilled nursing facility near you or your aging loved one, speak with a senior care coordinator at a placement agency. With so many decisions to be made and questions to ask, it is beneficial and invaluable to have a care coordinator on your side to help you find the perfect care solution for your situation. A senior care coordinator will help you navigate through how to find, place, and pay for the skilled nursing care your loved one needs. A care coordinator also knows which facilities and companies are a good fit and which ones to avoid. They will take into consideration all the needs from every angle and present a health care solution that works for you and your family.
