Skilled Nursing Care
Many of us struggle to watch our parents and loved ones age. Especially as it becomes evident they can no longer adequately care for themselves. When a parent has substantial impairment or medical needs, a skilled nursing home may be most appropriate to keep them well cared for. Individuals who require skilled nursing care may also need help with most, if not all, activities of daily living.
Garden View Care Center communities are skilled nursing homes in the St. Louis, MO area. They offer compassionate and personal twenty-four hour skilled nursing care under the direction of a physician. Skilled nursing care is a high level of medical care that is provided by trained individuals, such as registered nurses (RNs) 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. All Garden View locations have trained staff to provide high-quality care for those adults who need it.
Skilled nursing is most often needed during rehabilitation, recovery from an illness, or treatment of chronic ailments. We strive to keep residents as independent as possible while also providing thorough care in a nurturing and supportive environment. By offering a wide range of services, our care plan will evolve with your loved one as their medical support needs change.

Without the proper assessment tools and medical insight, family members may have trouble getting an accurate picture of an older adult’s true situation. Especially, if they are primarily seeing their loved one during short social visits. Garden View Care Centers’ medical staff offers professional evaluations and are trained to watch out for those medical red flags.
