Today’s nursing homes are an integral part of the rapidly changing world of health care. Their focus is firmly centered on rehabilitation services following hospital stays and complex medical procedures; interventions to help residents regain their independence so they can return home and resume traditional day-to-day activities; and helping individuals with chronic illnesses achieve their full potential and enjoy fulfilling, stimulating lives. Trinity Continuing Care Services’ 14 skilled nursing centers draw on the power and knowledge of our organization’s 45 hospitals, approximately 8,000 physicians, and other support services to provide an environment that combines hospitality with the latest breakthroughs in medical technology. Thanks to our comprehensive health care network, we draw upon a wealth of resources to meet the needs of individuals who otherwise might face prolonged and costly hospital stays. The rehabilitation focus in our nursing homes goes well beyond restoring physical functions. The goal is to encourage and assist residents in regaining their full independence and confidence. Fully one-third of our skilled nursing residents are rehabilitated and return to fulfilling lives in their own homes. Of course, nursing homes also continue to serve the needs of older adults who require the long-term oversight of a comprehensive team of health care professionals. For these residents, companionship with staff members, volunteers and other residents, social activities that promote interaction and communication, and confidence in the quality of care they receive creates a warm, inviting and compassionate residential setting. |
