Tucson is a large city in Arizona with a population of over 550,000 people. It’s home to the oldest family-run Mexican restaurant in the U.S. and Surf City, the first skateboard park.

What Is Skilled Nursing? 

Skilled nursing facilities provide expert medical care to individuals recovering from injuries or illnesses. Individuals needing long-term care because of illnesses or injuries permanently impacting their health may also receive services at a skilled nursing facility.

Skilled nursing facilities offer short-term rehabilitation, long-term rehabilitation, memory care, and assisted living. 

Short-Term Rehabilitation

Individuals expected to fully recover from illnesses or injuries may need short-term rehabilitation services. In short-term rehabilitation, a person receives medical care, relevant therapies, and assistance with daily living tasks until they’re able to function independently and return home. Short-term rehabilitation may be necessary for someone who gets pneumonia, or has a broken ankle. 

Long-Term Rehabilitation

Long-term rehabilitation services are designed for individuals who may not fully recover from their illnesses or injuries, or for those who need several months of medical care. A person who develops a disease, such as diabetes or arthritis, may need long-term care to address symptoms of their disease and help them to learn how to manage their health. Individuals affected by severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries or compound fractures, may need long-term care to support their recovery. 

Memory Care

Many older adults deal with some degree of memory loss. Those with dementia or Alzheimer’s may need customized care that accounts for their memory issues. This type of care is known as memory care. 

Although there are assisted living facilities with memory care services, individuals who need memory care typically require a higher level of care. Individuals with memory issues tend to wander, which puts them at risk of injury or death if they leave their residence without suitable attire, or wander on busy streets. Memory care professionals ensure these individuals receive personal care, medical care, and supervision, so they remain in a safe, supported environment. 

Assisted Living

Assisted living facilities are residences for older adults. Some residents may need minimal assistance with routine tasks, but move to an assisted living facility so they can socialize and enjoy the activities offered by the facility’s staff. Others may move to assisted living because they need some help with routine tasks, such as bathing and dressing. 

Assisted living facilities offer daily activities, places where residents can socialize, and access to medical services.

Conditions We Work With

Haven Health in Tucson provides expert care for individuals with multiple health issues.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Memory Care

As Alzheimer’s and dementia progresses, affected individuals lose their cognitive functions. Eventually, these individuals must live in residences with 24-hour supervision and support to prevent injuries and wandering.

Complex Wound Care

Complex wounds typically take longer to heal and pose a higher risk of infection. Nurses provide medications, change dressings, and monitor patients during their recovery. Medical care is crucial because it ensures individuals with complex wounds receive appropriate care if their condition worsens. 

Infectious Disease Care

There is a greater risk that older adults will get sick if they’re exposed to infectious diseases. However, individuals in skilled nursing facilities benefit from nutritious meals and expert medical care that help them maintain their health and help their immune systems to operate effectively. Skilled nursing professionals also provide expert care for those with infectious diseases to prevent them from exposing others to their illnesses while they recover.

Dialysis

Individuals with failing kidneys may need kidney dialysis. Haven Health in Tucson provides dialysis services for those individuals.

Tracheotomy and Tracheostomy

Some individuals with breathing issues may need a tube in their throat to enable them to get enough oxygen. A tracheotomy involves cutting the trachea to create a tracheostomy, which is an opening where the breathing tube is placed. Individuals with a breathing tube need additional medical care to prevent infections. Skilled nursing staff clean the tubes and dressings. 

Ventilator Care

Individuals may need to be hooked up to a ventilator that helps them breathe while recovering from illness or injury. Individuals who may need ventilators include those with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or head injuries. 

Joint Replacement

Artificial joints are surgically installed to improve a person’s mobility. Individuals may need occupational or physical therapy to help them adjust to their artificial joints. Individuals also need skilled nursing care to ensure their incisions heal and to prevent infection. 

Therapies We Offer 

Haven Health in Tucson offers the following therapies:

• Behavioral therapy: Experts use behavioral therapy to model and promote appropriate behaviors. Behavioral therapy can help those with anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and several other conditions. 
• Occupational therapy: Occupational therapists treat individuals who need to develop or regain fine motor skills. Their treatment plans involve exercises designed to strengthen muscles and improve hand-eye coordination. For example, after a stroke, an individual may need to relearn how to tie shoes, fasten buttons, and write. An occupational therapist can develop treatment plans to help them regain those skills. 
• Physical therapy: Individuals may need physical therapy to build muscles and improve mobility after an injury or illness. For example, a person recovering from a broken leg may need physical therapy to regain strength and balance to walk. Physical therapists also teach individuals how to use assistive devices, like walkers and wheelchairs and help them learn to manage pain.
• Speech therapy: Speech therapists develop treatment plans for those needing to relearn speaking after an illness or injury. For example, an individual who suffers a stroke may need to relearn how to make specific sounds, so they can communicate. Speech therapists also work with those who have difficulty swallowing.
