Skilled Care
Skilled nursing care is a transitional level of medical care that we provide to our patients when they need extra time recovering before transitioning home, to assisted living or nursing home. Care is provided under the direct supervision of licensed health professionals, 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 a high level of care on a frequent or constant basis due to a chronic medical condition.
Qualified
Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nurses Assistants, Physical Therapists, Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Respiratory Therapists are all available to help manage complex medical conditions. Premium service is provided for patients of all ages so family members can feel confident bringing their loved ones to Allen Parish for their healthcare needs.
