Nursing Homes

Determining when an elderly person needs a nursing home is a difficult, emotional decision that can only be made after careful consideration of their physical and mental capabilities. If a family member is no longer able to live alone, you should consider if a nursing home would be a better, safer option. Our FREE health care referral service provides skilled representatives who act as your personal concierge by personally guiding you through the process of finding the best nursing home, for your needs, in Columbus, Ohio and the surrounding areas.

Nursing homes are generally for patients who require more extensive care; or for post-surgery or post-illness physical therapy. Nursing homes provide a cost-effective way to enable patients with injuries, acute illnesses, or postoperative care needs to recover in an environment outside a hospital. When these patients are admitted from a hospital, Medicare will cover the cost as this is referred to as a skilled stay or sometimes called a subacute stay. 

A large number of acute-care Medicare patients, as well as some private pay and private insurance pay patients, will cycle through nursing homes on their way to recovery. These patients have physical needs that require help from the nurses, aides or physical therapists on a nursing home staff. Other residents may suffer from a wide array of physical or mental disorders or they may simply be feeble and unable to move about, bath themselves or provide their own meals.

Many nursing home residents, whether they are short-term or long-term residents, have medical needs in addition to help with everyday living. There are over 300 nursing homes in central Ohio and each is unique in its services. Without professional help, it is nearly impossible to know which one best fits your needs. We will answer all of your questions regarding insurance, private room availability, location, survey record and building appearance so that you are adequately informed to make the right decision.

In addition to therapies, nursing homes are a good place to receive care for Alzheimer’s disease, mental illness, long-term illness, or hospice services. As an added benefit, a portion of our profits go to the Alzheimer's Association in your local area. With compassion and care, we will help you find the best facility for your loved one in Columbus, OH and the surrounding areas.
