Gbaleah's Skilled nursing care refers to a high level of medical care provided by licensed and trained healthcare professionals, typically registered nurses (RNs) and nurse practitioners (NPs), within various healthcare settings. This type of care is characterized by its clinical and specialized nature and is often required for patients with complex medical needs, acute illnesses, or chronic conditions. Here are some key aspects of our skilled nursing care:

​

​

1. Medical Services: Our skilled nursing care involves a wide range of medical services, including assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients' health conditions. It is provided under the supervision of a healthcare provider, such as a physician.

​

  2. Medication Management: Our skilled nurses are responsible for administering medications, ensuring that patients receive the correct dosage at the right time, and monitoring for any adverse reactions or side effects.

​

  3. Wound Care: Managing wounds, ulcers, and surgical incisions is a common aspect of our skilled nursing care. Our nurses use their expertise to assess, clean, dress, and treat wounds to promote healing and prevent infection.

​

  4. Chronic Disease Management: Patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or respiratory disorders often require ongoing management and monitoring. Our skilled nurses play a crucial role in helping our patients manage their conditions, including medication adherence and lifestyle modifications.

​

  5. IV Therapy: Administering intravenous (IV) medications, fluids, and nutrition is a specialized skill within our skilled nursing care. Nurses ensure that IV lines are properly inserted and maintained.

​

  6. Respiratory Care: Patients with respiratory issues, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), may require our skilled nursing care for respiratory treatments, including oxygen therapy and nebulizer treatments.

​

  7. Pain Management: Our skilled nurses work with healthcare providers to assess and manage patients' pain levels, adjusting pain medications as needed to provide comfort and improve quality of life.

​

  8. Post-Surgical Care: After surgery, patients often require specialized care during their recovery period. Our skilled nurses monitor surgical sites, administer pain relief, and provide wound care to promote healing.

​

  9. Rehabilitation Services: Our skilled nursing care may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to help patients regain mobility, independence, and communication skills after illness or injury.

​

10. Patient Education: Our skilled nurses educate patients and their families about their medical conditions, treatment plans, and self-care techniques to empower them to manage their health at home.

​

11.Coordination of Care: Our skilled nurses collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as physicians, therapists, and social workers, to ensure that patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care.

​

12. Home Health Care: In some cases, our skilled nursing care is provided in the patient's home through home health agencies. This allows patients to receive medical care in the comfort of their own homes, promoting independence and reducing hospital stays.

​

Our skilled nursing care is an essential component of Gbaleah's healthcare systems, helping patients recover from illness or injury, manage chronic conditions, and maintain their overall health. Our skilled nurses require a high level of clinical expertise, ongoing education, and dedication to delivering quality care to our patients in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and home health agencies.
