Katherine Healthcare

It may be time to consider a nursing home environment when both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home or in another senior living community. This may be due to a recent hospitalization, or a chronic illness which has gradually been worsening.

Our services at include: • Skilled Nursing • Post Acute Care • Long-Term Care • Rehabilitation Therapy • Physical Therapy • Occupational Therapy • Speech and Language Pathology • Memory Support • Respite Stay • Hospice Services • Supplementary care options

We have a full-time business office manager for all financial and billing concerns. If you have any questions regarding these matters, please make an appointment with our business office manager through the front desk.

We provide all of the furniture your elderly parent needs in their room. However, to make it feel like home, most skilled nursing centers encourage residents to bring personal items such as family photos, a familiar bedspread, and treasured knickknacks.

Physicians generally see residents upon admission and once every 30 days thereafter. Though the physicians aren’t there every day, our nursing staff is in constant communication with each physician that visits the facility.

Residents may take a leave of absence with a physician’s authorization, which can be arranged through the nursing staff. Residents who take a leave of absence must check in and out with the leave of absence (LOA) book at the nursing station.

Please make sure to check with the nursing staff before bringing food in to ensure the food complies with special diets. Any food kept in resident rooms must be in a properly sealed container.
