Skilled Nursing Services at Dougherty Ferry

Many of us struggle to watch our parents and loved ones age; especially as it becomes evident they can no longer adequately care for themselves. When a parent has substantial impairment or medical needs, a skilled nursing home may be most appropriate to keep them well cared for. Individuals who require skilled nursing care may also need help with most, if not all, activities of daily living.

Quality and Compassion

Dougherty Ferry offers high-quality, compassionate, and personal twenty-four hour skilled nursing care under the direction of a physician. Skilled nursing care is a high level of medical care that is provided by trained individuals, such as registered nurses (RNs) and physical, speech, and occupational therapists. These services can be necessary over the short term for rehabilitation from an illness or injury, or they may be required over the long term for patients who need care on a frequent or around-the-clock basis due to a chronic medical condition.

Skilled nursing is most often needed during rehabilitation, recovery from an illness, or treatment of chronic ailments. We strive to keep residents as independent as possible while also providing thorough care in a nurturing and supportive environment. By offering a wide range of services, our care plan will evolve with your loved one as their medical support needs change. Here are a few examples of skilled nursing services:

  • Wound Care
  • Injections
  • Physical and Speech Therapy
  • Interim Medical Care
  • Terminal Illness Care
  • Stroke Recovery
  • General Rehabilitation
  • Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
  • Acute Medical Conditions
