A move into skilled nursing or rehabilitation can bring significant changes for both patients and their families. Questions about treatment, progress, medications, mobility, and discharge plans can arise quickly, especially after a hospitalization, surgery, illness, or injury. Skilled nursing professionals can help families better understand these changes while providing the medical oversight their loved one requires.
Edenbrook Rochester provides skilled nursing for post-acute rehabilitation and long-term care. Services listed by the facility include stroke recovery, orthopedic rehabilitation, medically complex and post-surgical care, pulmonary and respiratory care, renal management, in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and other forms of clinical support. This interdisciplinary approach is important because recovery often involves several healthcare professionals working toward connected goals.
Families can play an important role by asking questions, sharing observations, and learning what changes in their loved one’s condition should be reported. At the same time, nurses and other members of the care team can provide clinical monitoring and communicate important developments.
Skilled nursing can also help families prepare for transitions, including a return home or a change in the level of care required.
