Skilled Nursing Services

What are skilled nursing services?

Skilled nursing services at Leading MDs include comprehensive and advanced medical care by highly trained nurses, physician assistants, physicians, and other medical professionals. They offer exceptional care in a transitional setting, providing the same high-level nursing care you receive in a hospital or nursing home.

You might travel from a hospital to a facility with skilled nursing services to continue recovering after surgery, an injury, or a severe illness until you’re well enough to be at home. 

What are the advantages of skilled nursing services?

Leading MDs provides successful patient outcomes using the specific skills and medical knowledge you would expect at a superior skilled nursing facility (SNF). The SNF program focuses on reducing return hospital admissions and strong communication with an accessible medical team where providers are always available onsite. 

There is a profound link between quality and payment in long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC). Leading MDs offer top-quality care at affordable prices, and long-term care residents receive special treatment when taking advantage of the practice’s value-based program. It helps reduce the risk of costly medical issues, disability, and painful complications.

What’s the difference between a nursing home and transitional care?

While a skilled nursing facility is similar to nursing home care, there are differences. Nursing home care focuses on activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, and getting dressed. It’s a long-term solution for people who aren’t able to complete daily tasks on their own. 

Skilled nursing provides similar care but is designed to prepare you for the transition from hospital care to living at home. This service at Leading MDs addresses your physical, medical, and mental health care needs during this transitional period and beyond.
