The nursing team at Calvert City
Convalescent Center is committed to providing holistic care for each
resident. We realize that change is difficult for everyone and
giving up the comforts and independence of living at home can be
particularly painful when added to the stress of a physical illness.
In an effort to provide quality services we have a formalized
admission process and staffing provisions to accommodate the more
clinically complex resident. The type of resident care that is
needed at the time of admission is the major factor utilized to
determine appropriate placement in one of two nursing facility
levels of care. The levels of nursing care available are:
|
Skilled |
-Daily nursing care by a registered nurse
-Feeding tubes for nutrition
-Intravenous treatments
- Decrease in level of functioning that would require physical
or
occupational therapy on a daily basis
-Extensive wound or skin care
**Note: this is the type of care that Medicare and Private
Insurance will cover. |
|
Nursing Facility |
-The resident needs care that does not require a
registered nurse. The care can be provided by a licensed
practical nurse or a nursing assistant under the supervision or
a registered nurse. Some examples of nursing facility care
needs are: assistance with combinations of bathing,
dressing, feeding, walking, routine catheter care, oxygen, bowel
and bladder incontinence.
**Note : Medicare and most private insurances do not cover
nursing facility care. Medicaid does cover nursing
facility care. |
