39 E. Mountain Rd, Hillsborough www.foothillacres.com Post-hospital care has become quite sophisticated and now includes treatments such as wound care, IV antibiotics and medications, cardiac issues, and respiratory compromise and conditions. A patient or their loved ones should choose a facility with excellent nurses, good physical facilities, and a proven track record of being able to handle these conditions. A patient admitted for post hospital care should be seen by a physician within two days of the admission. Depending on how sick the patient is, and how recent the admission, the patient should be seen 2 to 3 times per week. Every facility cannot excel in every field, so you need to find a facility with expertise in the conditions your loved one might have. In the case of COPD, for example, does the facility have a formal program with active involvement of pulmonologists and respiratory therapists? Facilities can be assessed in many fashions. Medicare rates them with a Star system, but this can be misleading at times. Tour the facilities, ask lots of questions, speak with members of your community, and do your online research to determine which facility might be right for you or your loved one.
