Skilled Nursing Facilities versus In-home Skilled Nursing Services
Hospitals often discharge patients to nursing facilities, but the reality of the situation is that these nursing facilities don’t provide the comfort of one’s home or the tailored services that are needed for a fast recovery. We believe that access to care is paramount to anyone suffering from a chronic illness or an unfortunate injury. Our agency offers in-home skilled nursing services to the Henderson community so that Senior Citizens and people recovering from surgery can receive professional services in the comfort of their own home.
When evaluating whether a facility care or in-home care is more cost effective, a few different factors have to be taken into account. As a general rule of thumb, when a senior only requires assistance with a few activities or therapies throughout the day, in-home care can end up being more cost-effective. However, when a person requires around the clock care, then the constant supervision that is provided in a facility ends up being more cost effective.
Another factor to consider is whether an individual will require specialized equipment during their rehabilitation. If the recovery plan is short-term but requires the installation of equipment that costs tens of thousands of dollars, patients may choose to receive their nursing care in a facility that already has the necessary equipment to reduce their costs.
