High Quality Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Services

It’s easy to get confused by the different types of senior care available today. You might hear “nursing home,” assisted living,” and “skilled nursing” used interchangeably, but there are key differences.

• Assisted Living – This is primarily for people who need help with daily activities – like bathing, cooking, or managing medications – but don’t require constant medical attention. It’s more about lifestyle support than medical treatment.
• Standard Nursing Homes – Long-term care offers higher levels of personal care than assisted living, but it may not always provide the intensive medical rehabilitation found in skilled nursing.
• Skilled Nursing Care – Our skilled nursing support is medical in nature. It’s for people who need a temporary stay focused on rehabilitation.

We offer a wide range of medical services to meet diverse needs, and we tailor each to individual patients. Our skilled nursing facility’s services include:

• Post-Surgical Care – Monitoring incision sites, managing pain, and preventing infection after surgery
• IV Therapy – Administering antibiotics or hydration fluids intravenously
• Wound Care – Specialized treatment for complex wounds to promote faster healing
• Medication Management – Ensuring the proper doses are taken at the correct times to prevent complications
• Monitoring Vital Signs – Keeping a close watch on heart rate, blood pressure, and other critical metrics

As we age, our bodies take longer to heal. A fall that might only cause a bruise in a younger person could lead to a fracture or surgery for a senior. Skilled nursing for seniors provides a safe environment where recovery is the priority. This type of care helps seniors by:

• Reducing Hospital Readmissions – With professional monitoring, complications are caught early, preventing a return trip to the emergency room.
• Providing Social Interaction – Isolation can be dangerous for seniors. Our community offers chances to socialize, which boosts mental health.
• Ensuring Safety – Falls are a major risk at home. Our facility is designed with safety features and supervision to prevent accidents.

Medical care and therapy go hand-in-hand. You cannot effectively heal the body without strengthening it, and you cannot strengthen the body if it’s not medically stable. Vista Ridge integrates skilled nursing with the following types of therapy:

• Physical Therapy – Focuses on improving movement, balance, and strength, which is crucial for fall prevention and mobility
• Occupational Therapy – Helps patients relearn daily skills like dressing, eating, and bathing
