Transitioning into a nursing home can be a big step, but understanding what to expect can help make the process easier. A quality nursing facility offers a supportive environment where residents are able to receive medical care, emotional support, and social engagement. At Rebekah Health Links, we provide high-quality care that is tailored to each resident’s unique needs. Here are some things to know about making the transition to a nursing home:
Comprehensive Health Services
A nursing home should offer comprehensive services that support the health and well-being of its residents. The available services can help residents manage medical needs, maintain daily living skills, and receive emotional support when making this transition. At Rebekah Health Links, our professional facility includes 24/7 nursing care, occupational therapy, speech therapy, nutritional counseling, and social work support.
Another way to ease the transition is by discussing care plans with the staff in advance can help medical needs, therapy goals, and emotional support strategies are clearly outlined beforehand. It also gives family members the opportunity to address any concerns, ask questions, and collaborate with staff so their loved ones’ preferences and routines are respected.
