Kilgore Nursing Homes and Ten Assisted Living Benefits

Nursing Homes

Deciding to find a care facility for a loved one is never easy. There are many things to consider, such as cost, location, and level of care.

Nursing homes are a traditional thought for senior care. However, these facilities are best for short-term stays.

Nursing homes are best for people who are:

  • Living with chronic conditions that inhibit living independently
  • Living with a disability that limits independence
  • Recovering from an injury or procedure

Nursing homes can be a great option for those who need assistance with activities of daily living or have physical disabilities that prevent them from caring for themselves on their own. However, the skilled nursing care available in these facilities creates a very high cost of care.

Medicare Part A may cover temporary nursing home visits if you have had a hospital stay of three days or more. Insurance will also pay for short-term stays when a doctor recommends more rehabilitation time.

Skilled nurses help residents with their needs with:

  • Physical, speech, and occupational therapies
  • Intravenous therapy
  • Wound care
  • Catheter care
  • Feeding tubes
  • Custodial care

Seniors who want to live independently and stay active physically and socially can do so with Assisted Living. These services available in senior living communities help older adults avoid the need for nursing homes.
