Skilled Nursing Care for Seniors

As seniors age, they face a unique set of challenges during their day-to-day life. What used to be simple will become more difficult, which can be incredibly frustrating for elderly people who have spent the majority of their life functioning independently. Things like bathing, cleaning, and going up and down the stairs will eventually require the help of a loved one, a caregiver, or a nurse, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach for these seniors who need a little extra assistance.

For most seniors, there are multiple options when it comes to their living situation. These might include remaining in their home, moving in with family members, or living in a skilled nursing facility. Having more options available makes personalized care for seniors easier because you are more likely to find a model of care that matches your personal, unique needs and wants, as well as your personality. While each has its pluses, there are a number of compelling benefits associated with joining other elders in a shared living environment where skilled nursing care is available. Personal Healthcare, founded by Ephraim Zagelbaum, tailors support to your individual preferences, whether you’d like help bathing, getting ready in the morning, managing your medications, moving around in your suite (transferring to or from a wheelchair or walker), or getting to activities and dining throughout the residence.

Skilled nursing care is a high level of medical care that must be provided by trained individuals, such as registered nurses and physical, speech, and occupational therapists. These services can be necessary over the short term for rehabilitation from an illness or injury, or they may be required over the long term for patients who need care on a frequent or around-the-clock basis due to a chronic medical condition. Under the leadership of EphraimZagelbaum, Personal Healthcare provides typical senior living services, with the addition of a high level of medical care, usually found in a hospital setting. With a skilled care provider onsite, you can be assured that you’ll get prompt attention for your medical needs, even if your needs change.
