Medical Center’s Skilled Nursing Facility is a 20 bed hospital-based
nursing facility designed to enhance the spectrum of care available
to the community and offer an alternative discharge option for patients,
families and physicians. Our mission is to provide a short-term,
hospital-based continuum of quality health care to the patient in
need of certified skilled services.
The CMC Skilled Nursing Facility serves to ease a patient’s
transition from the acute care hospital setting into an individualized
rehabilitation program. The CMC Skilled Nursing Facility is specifically
designed to meet the needs of the gerontological patient requiring
short-term skilled care. The hours of operation for referrals and
admission are 24 hours a day. Because its mission is to provide
short term skilled nursing facility care (average length of stay
less than 30 days), it is not Medicaid certified and does not provide
long-term care. The CMC Skilled Nursing Facilty is Medicare certified
and JCAHO accredited.
