My mother came to Heisinger (the skilled nursing portion) two years ago after having a stroke.  No one chooses to be in a nursing home.  Every elderly man and woman wants to stay in their own home...even as their health declines.  But sometimes there’s no other way.  We are so thankful for Heiseinger.  They provide wonderful care - on both the medical and compassion / caring plane.  Tina, the head of nursing, does an amazing job keeping the place staffed.  And all of the nurses, nurse techs and aides are so good at what they do.  And Carmelita who runs the kitchen is also incredible.  And what they do is NOT easy.  It takes a special person to work in a nursing home day after day.  Five stars and a huge thank you from a grateful son.

FAQs about Skilled Nursing Care

  • What is a skilled nursing facility?

    A skilled nursing facility (SNF) is a healthcare institution that provides 24/7 medical care and rehabilitation services for individuals with complex health needs. These facilities cater primarily to seniors and offer support for recovery after surgery, illness, or injury and ongoing care for chronic conditions. Skilled nursing facilities feature licensed nursing staff, therapy services, and personal assistance, ensuring a comprehensive approach to health and well-being.

  • What is the difference between a skilled nursing facility and a skilled nursing home?

    The terms "skilled nursing facility" and "skilled nursing home" are often used interchangeably, but there can be subtle differences. A skilled nursing facility typically emphasizes the medical care and rehabilitation services provided, often catering to short-term stays for recovery. In contrast, a skilled nursing home may focus more on long-term residential care for individuals with chronic conditions. Both offer 24/7 nursing care, but the context of their use can vary.

  • What are the costs associated with senior living facilities?

    The difference between assisted living and senior skilled nursing lies in the level of care provided:


    • Assisted Living is ideal for seniors who need assistance with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, but do not require extensive medical care. Residents typically maintain a higher level of independence in a community setting, with support available as needed.
    • Senior Skilled Nursing offers comprehensive medical care and rehabilitation services for seniors with more complex health needs. Skilled nursing provides 24/7 medical supervision, therapy, and assistance for chronic conditions, making it suitable for individuals recovering from surgery or managing serious health issues.

  • Does Medicare cover skilled nursing facilities?

    Medicare covers skilled nursing facilities for short-term stays after a qualifying hospital stay but does not typically cover long-term stays. For long-term care in our Jefferson City community, options like Long Term Care insurance or Medicaid may provide the necessary financial support. Our team at Heisinger Bluffs can help you understand and navigate your insurance options.

  • Is specialized care available for conditions like Alzheimer’s at Heisinger Bluffs skilled nursing home?

    Yes, Heisinger Bluffs offers specialized care programs for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Our dedicated team provides tailored support and engaging activities to enhance the quality of life for residents with cognitive impairments, ensuring they receive the compassionate care they deserve.

  • How do I transition to skilled nursing or rehab after an inpatient hospital stay?

    If you experience an inpatient hospital stay of at least three midnights, you may be eligible for a health insurance-covered stay in our rehabilitation services. To initiate the process, request a referral from the hospital’s social service department to our admissions team in Jefferson City, and we will coordinate with them to establish your discharge plan and transition to Heisinger Bluffs.
