Information for Families
Understanding Your Options
Making care decisions for someone you love is never easy. Whether your family member needs short-term rehabilitation after surgery or long-term skilled nursing care, we understand this is a challenging time. At Chateau Terrebonne Health Care, we’re here to provide the trusted care your loved one needs, with all the comforts of home.
When is skilled nursing appropriate?
Short-Term Rehabilitation
Sometimes an injury, illness, or surgery creates a temporary need for skilled nursing and therapy. Many patients stay with us for a few weeks or months to regain strength and independence before returning home. We serve as that important bridge between hospital and home, providing intensive rehabilitation in a supportive environment.
Long-Term Care
For some families, ongoing medical needs mean long-term skilled nursing care is the safest, most compassionate option. We provide 24-hour nursing care, medication management, and comprehensive support for those who need continuous medical attention.
When is it time to consider long-term skilled nursing care?
You might consider skilled nursing care if your loved one:
- Needs frequent daily medical attention or monitoring
- Has limited mobility or significant difficulty moving safely
- Is no longer eating appropriately or managing nutrition
- Struggles with proper hygiene and self-care
- Requires assistance with multiple activities of daily living
- Would benefit from intensive physical, occupational, or speech therapy
These are difficult realities to face, but recognizing when additional support is needed is an act of love.
