What is a skilled nursing facility?

A skilled nursing facility provides nursing care and rehabilitative services to individuals recovering from an illness, injury, or surgery. Patients are typically referred to a skilled nursing facility by their physician when they no longer need to be hospitalized, but aren’t yet ready to return to independent living. Through individualized programs that include physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy, patients are empowered to rehabilitate back to their personal best.

Most skilled nursing facilities, including ours, also have medical doctors, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, and registered dietitians on staff.

Will my health insurance pay for my stay at a skilled nursing facility?

Many health insurance policies cover skilled nursing facilities. We also accept private pay, commercial insurance, and workers’ compensation.

At Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation, we want each patient’s stay to be both therapeutic and enjoyable. That’s why we offer a variety of social, creative, physical, and educational activities that appeal to all residents. Our staff works hard to make sure everyone feels welcome by planning group outings, birthday celebrations, yoga and meditation classes, and live music events.

What is the food like?

In reality, many skilled nursing facilities are taking great strides to provide residents with meals that are both nutritious and delicious. At Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation, we have registered dietitians on staff that can make special meals to accommodate allergies and medical conditions, as well as dietary preferences and religious and cultural needs.
