Reimagining Post-Acute Care: The Rise of Resort-Style Skilled Nursing Facilities
Whether a parent or loved one requires extra assistance with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, medication management due to natural aging, or having undergone a major medical procedure, it may be time to consider looking into a skilled nursing facility or post-acute care center.
One type of skilled nursing facility that has become increasingly popular in recent years is the resort-style facility. The concept behind a resort-style facility is to create an environment that feels more like a vacation than a hospital. These facilities are designed to be comfortable, welcoming, and aesthetically pleasing. They typically have spacious, well-appointed rooms, beautiful outdoor areas, and a variety of amenities and services to help residents feel at home.
These facilities offer post-acute care for individuals who are recovering from an illness or surgery and require temporary rehabilitation services. They also provide long-term care for the aging population who need ongoing assistance with daily activities.
One of the main benefits of a resort-style facility is that they provide a higher level of personalized care than a traditional nursing home. Because they are often smaller in size, staff members can get to know residents on a more personal level and provide tailored care.
In addition to the higher level of care, resort-style facilities offer a wide range of amenities and services that are designed to improve residents’ quality of life. These may include chef-prepared meals, on-site beauty and spa services, fitness programs, and social activities. All these services can help residents feel more comfortable, which can lead to faster recovery and an overall better quality of life.
