Skilled Nursing Services in Bossier City, LA

Not everyone requires skilled nursing care. However, this level of support is critical for individuals with specific medical needs. If you’re unsure whether a loved one qualifies for skilled nursing services, call us. Colonial Oaks will guide you and work with your healthcare providers to determine the best course of action. Patients generally qualify for skilled nursing services if:

• They need help recovering from surgery, injury, or an illness
• They’ve been hospitalized and require ongoing care to prevent complications
• They have chronic conditions that need medical management, such as respiratory issues or severe arthritis
• They need assistance with mobility rehabilitation after a stroke or fall

Our skilled nursing center is fully equipped to provide long-term care for those with ongoing medical needs. We offer a safe, supportive environment when remaining at home is no longer the best option. At Colonial Oaks, you or your loved one will receive round-the-clock care to help improve the quality of life. Our long-term care services include:

• 24-hour medical monitoring by skilled nursing staff
• Assistance with daily tasks, such as bathing, grooming, and meal preparation

Facing serious health challenges requires empathy and specialized care. That’s why Colonial Oaks offers hospice and palliative care services. Our dedicated team works with families to ensure patients have the medical, emotional, and spiritual support they need during these sensitive times.

Every person’s needs are unique, so we strive to provide thoughtful, personalized approaches to our residents. We do so by offering:

We’re often asked whether Medicare covers skilled nursing care. The answer varies. Medicare may cover short-term care in a skilled nursing facility under certain conditions, but it will not always cover long-term care.

Our team will help you understand your benefits and assist with insurance questions to make the process as seamless as possible. Typically, to qualify for Medicare coverage:

• The patient must have had at least a three-day hospital stay
• A doctor must prescribe skilled nursing care
• Services must be provided at a Medicare-certified facility, like Colonial Oaks
