Short-and Long-Term Care at a Skilled Nursing Facility

When a senior is recovering from illness or injury or living with a chronic health condition, they want three things: expert senior care, a compassionate team, and a nurturing setting. Skilled nursing at Sierra Winds combines all three.

The level of care seniors receive here is exemplary, whether you require short-term or long-term care. Our health center has earned high ratings from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, meaning the quality of the clinical services, staffing and the environment are top in the industry.

Residents have access to skilled nursing around-the-clock. A team of interdisciplinary professionals — nursing, therapy, restorative, dietetics and social services — collaborates with the resident to create and implement a personalized care plan. Targeted rehabilitation therapies take place on campus with senior rehab specialists in physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.

While Sierra Winds residents receive priority access to community health care services, we also accept community seniors for direct admission to skilled nursing. Short-term respite care is also available. Hospice care can be arranged only for Life Care residents.

After comparing the lifestyles of independent living and skilled nursing, some seniors will say, “But my needs fall somewhere in the middle.” They may require a little assistance, but not 24-hour care. Sierra Winds has a solution for them as well. Resident Services offers a menu of support options for seniors to choose from to help keep them as independent as possible. Whether they need assistance with bathing or dressing, medication reminders, wheelchair assistance or short treatment visits, qualified health care team members will come to a senior’s residence to provide professional, respectful support. Plus, they only pay for the services they need, whenever they need it.
