Frequently asked questions
What is long-term care?
Long-term care is for those who need permanent full-time care with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, moving from one place to another, hygiene, toileting, etc. Long-term care is usually provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) like Ingleside Communities.
What is skilled nursing Care?
Skilled nursing care helps with medical needs including rehab therapies, medication management, IV therapy, colostomy care, and other services, memory care, wound care, medication management, pain management, and more. Care is administered by a nurse.
How does rehabilitation therapy work?
Ingleside Communities offers short-term inpatient and outpatient rehab therapy including occupational, speech and physical therapies plus many other modalities. Many patients use physical therapy prior to surgery, or to help with healing following a hospital stay or post-surgical procedure such as a knee or hip replacement. Professional therapists help patients regain strength, increase movement, reduce pain and improve health prior to returning home.
What is transitional care?
Transitional care is an important service that coordinates the continuity of patient care during a move from one place to another, like from a hospital to a nursing/rehab center, and then back home. The goal of transitional care is to have caregivers and health care providers working together to share information ensuring patients don’t have interruptions in their care needs and experience a smooth transition from one setting to another.
