A real dump. While looking for a good place to house my dad with dementia, I had to temporarily have him stay at Emerald Ridge. Overcrowded and not enough staff. Filthy conditions and smells. The cook staff is too lazy to puree the food. I mean really, who gives spaghetti and meatballs to dementia patients that are unable to use a fork and knife? The staff at Emerald Ridge, that's who. When I finally found a better facility, the administration staff at Emerald Ridge refused to release my dad's medical records.

I spent one week there recently after 3 major lung surgeries. It says skilled nursing, but that's not true. I received minimal care, with the exception of the physical and occupational therapists. Couldn't get my meds on time and had no help bathing or dressing. I finally had a fall on a transport van on my way to a doctor's appointment and wasn't even checked for injury after returning to the facility. The next morning, my chest tube fell out and I was transported back to the hospital, never to return to that place, except to collect my belongings. I never got my shoes back, but it was a small price to pay. God bless the people who have to live there that have no choice and no voice. If you love someone who is a patient there, PLEASE keep a close check on them!

There are many decisions that go into the process of choosing a nursing home for yourself or someone you care for. It is normal for the family and the resident to experience some degree of anxiety about the move. A life change as important as moving into a nursing home should be handled with care and should be made as comfortable as possible. Residents and family members can make the transition easiest by remaining informed and by proactively seeking a caring environment where the resident will feel most at home. During the transition, frustrations may occur while your loved one is becoming accustomed to the new surroundings.
Families are encouraged to decorate the resident's living area with personal belongings such as flowers, pictures, and other memorabilia. -Personal clothing (day and night-time wear) -Comfortable, non-skid shoes -Lightweight sweaters -Personal equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, canes, etc.)
Long-term care insurance is becoming more common, but benefits vary by insurance provider and policy. It is important to check with your insurance carrier to determine your policy s exact coverage for ongoing, long-term care.
Hospitals are designed for patients who have serious medical problems that can be treated only in a hospital. Insurance companies may review and stop insurance benefits when you no longer need acute hospital care. A nursing center can provide the continuing medical care and rehabilitation services you need to help you recover from illness or injury so that you can return home as soon as possible.
The social worker at the hospital or nursing center will assist you in determining the appropriate payer source (which may include Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance). If you need Medicaid to cover the cost of nursing home care, you will be referred to a Medicaid worker to help you with the Medicaid application process.
You and your family member(s) should select several nursing centers for evaluation. Placement often happens very quickly so contact, visit and tour as many nursing centers as practical. Be sure to ask questions that address what you believe will be most important to your loved one. We offer a convenient informational sheet to help you consider the various factors. Please talk to our admissions staff for a free copy.
