Complex Care in a Skilled Nursing Setting

Individuals transitioning from the hospital may have multiple diagnoses and clinical needs that must be managed simultaneously.

Silver Springs brings nursing, medical oversight, rehabilitation, nutritional services, social services and other clinical resources together in one setting. This interdisciplinary approach allows the care team to consider the whole person rather than treating each condition in isolation.

For individuals with complex medical needs, our goal is to provide the clinical support necessary to promote stability, prevent avoidable complications and help each resident achieve the highest practical level of health and independence.

Recovery Following Hospitalization or Surgery

Silver Springs provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation for individuals who need continued care before they are ready to safely return home.

Depending on individual needs, a post-hospital stay may include skilled nursing care, medication management, wound care, IV therapy, nutritional support and physical, occupational or speech therapy.

Our nursing and rehabilitation teams work collaboratively to support both clinical recovery and functional improvement.

Chronic Disease Management

Some residents require ongoing skilled nursing because of chronic medical conditions or a combination of medical, functional and behavioral health needs.

Our interdisciplinary team develops an individualized plan of care designed to manage these conditions while supporting comfort, function, independence and quality of life.

Care may include monitoring of chronic conditions, medication management, nutritional support, rehabilitation, patient education and coordination with physicians and other healthcare providers.
