Skilled Nursing

In some cases, individuals, their families, and the facility determine that it is not safe for the patient to return home due to their chronic health conditions. These individuals have the option to be considered for long-term admission to one of Los Angeles Jewish Health’s facilities.

Some of the major benefits of Los Angeles Jewish Health’s Skilled Nursing Facility:

• 24/7 healthcare services: Nurses and medical staff on hand around the clock to monitor a patient’s health. If requested, a telemedicine visit can be arranged with state-of-the-art technology.

• Therapists (PT, OT, ST): Our therapists are employees of Los Angeles Jewish Health rather than contracted vendors. This creates a more personalized approach that is aligned with our mission.

• Guidance with diet and nutrition: Depending on a resident’s age or ailment, dietary and nutritional needs vary and evolve. Skilled nurses help navigate these changes for you or your loved one in a clear and comforting way.

• Social interactions. Our social workers, clergy, and activity staff provide a variety of social and learning activities as part of the daily schedule.

Skilled nursing care provides a higher degree of assistance than assisted living communities. In addition to nursing care, SNF staff actively focus on improving their patients’ abilities to perform their daily tasks – fostering mobility and encouraging some level of independence vis-à-vis bathing, grooming, getting dressed, and managing medications – while keeping them safe and secure in a healing and compassionate environment.
