Recovering from a surgery, illness, or injury can be especially challenging for older adults. Healing takes time—and in many cases, it also takes professional care and support. That’s where skilled nursing care comes in.
At Brentwood Healthcare Center, our skilled nursing services are designed to provide 24/7 medical support in a safe, nurturing environment, giving residents and their families peace of mind. Whether someone needs short-term rehabilitation or long-term medical care, skilled nursing offers a level of expertise and attention that is hard to match at home.
What Is Skilled Nursing Care?
Skilled nursing care refers to a higher level of medical attention provided by licensed nurses and healthcare professionals. This type of care is often required following a hospital stay or when a senior’s medical needs become too complex for assisted living or home care.
At Brentwood, our skilled nursing team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, all trained to deliver round-the-clock clinical care with compassion and dignity.
Key Benefits of Skilled Nursing Care
1. 24/7 Medical Support
Skilled nursing care ensures that help is available at all times—day or night. From administering medications to monitoring vital signs or responding to medical emergencies, our team is always on hand to provide the care your loved one needs.
2. Personalized Care Plans
Each resident receives a care plan tailored to their specific health needs and recovery goals. Whether it’s managing chronic conditions like diabetes or supporting post-surgical healing, personalized care ensures better outcomes and a more comfortable experience.
3. On-Site Rehabilitation Services
In many skilled nursing facilities, including Brentwood, residents have direct access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy. This integrated approach helps streamline recovery and makes it easier for patients to regain strength, mobility, and independence.
4. Professional Monitoring and Safety
Having trained staff nearby reduces the risk of complications during recovery. Wound care, respiratory therapy, pain management, and fall prevention are all critical elements of skilled nursing care that promote a safe healing environment.
5. Emotional and Social Support
Skilled nursing doesn’t just focus on physical health—it also addresses emotional well-being. Our team takes the time to get to know each resident, offer reassurance, and create a community where people feel valued and cared for.
When Is Skilled Nursing the Right Choice?
Skilled nursing is often the right fit when a loved one:
- Has recently been discharged from the hospital and needs continued care
- Requires rehabilitation after surgery or injury
- Needs assistance managing complex medical conditions
- Is experiencing frequent falls or health-related emergencies at home
- Needs long-term medical care due to chronic illness
