Skilled Nursing

Citizens Memorial owns and operates six Medicare/Medicaid licensed skilled nursing facilities. Skilled nursing facilities provide short-term rehabilitation and long-term stays for individuals requiring routine assistance, including dementia care.

Long-term stays are more appropriate for individuals requiring routine assistance. Long-term stays may also be required for patients struggling with dementia. Memory Care Units are designed for residents with varying types of dementia.

In-patient short-term rehabilitation is for individuals discharged from the hospital needing 24-hour skilled nursing care or therapy before going home. Physical, occupational and speech therapy are available as ordered by a physician.

During short-term rehab, a resident gains confidence and strength to stay active and transition back to previous living arrangements. The length of stay depends on several factors, including the resident's therapy progress and insurance company authorization.

This type of care is sometimes called "transitional care" and is available at all CMH skilled nursing facilities.
