Millions of Americans are supporting elderly parents or loved ones when it comes to critical healthcare decisions needing to be made about the best level and type of care to choose. With the proliferation of beautiful nursing homes opening around the nation, some being described as “skilled nursing facilities” and some with “rehabilitation” in their name, what do we need to know? What are the levels of care in a nursing home vs an inpatient rehabilitation facility? What does the research show when comparing results? What type of facility provides more comprehensive care? These are critical questions we need to ask should the need arise in our lives. Join me as I explore with Jeff what we need to know and what other kinds of services we should be thinking about to make the best possible choice. This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Medical Center.
