Many people enter a nursing facility for rehabilitation or short-term skilled nursing care.
If you, or someone close to you, is in a nursing facility or being discharged from a hospital and wants to know more about long-term care alternatives, Community Choice can help. As early as possible, you and your family should begin planning for any necessary care after a nursing facility stay. Long-term care needs and personal preferences should be discussed openly with your doctor, hospital discharge planner, and nursing home social worker. Community Choice Counselors are available to work with you and your family as well as with the facility discharge planners, to discuss alternatives and make your transition from institution to community as easy as possible. The services of a Community Choice Counselor can be requested before you enter a nursing facility, shortly after an admission to a facility, or at any time during the stay.
