The Skilled Nursing Unit is designed for transitional care for patients with special needs, particularly rehabilitation. Many need to regain strength or remaster activities of daily living before returning to independent living. Others need conditioning before transfer to a nursing home.
Appropriate patients include:
- Post-operative
- Post-stroke
- Post ventilator-dependent
- Geriatrics
A multidisciplinary team of nurses, activities specialist, physical therapists and dieticians works with the doctor to help patients achieve optimum goals.
