If an illness or injury has required you to stay as an "in-patient" not as an "observation patient" in the hospital for at least more than three days, you may reach a point in your recovery where you no longer need to be hospitalized yet you aren't physically able to care for yourself at home. It may be appropriate for you to receive skilled care. At the McDowell ARH Skilled Nursing Facility, our skilled nursing unit offers a multidisciplinary team of caring physicians, nurses, social services, pharmacy services, and therapists to develop coordinated treatment plans for each patient to ensure that each individual receives personalized attention and comprehensive care. Our caring staff will provide services to you until your condition is stable and/or your rehabilitation potential is reached and you are ready to go home or to another setting.

Some examples of problems suitable for care in our Skilled Nursing Facility include:

• Wounds that are not healing well or need special care
• IV or Nutritional Therapy
• Recovery from major surgery, joint replacement or vascular or abdominal operation(s)
• Stroke Care and Rehabilitation
