Did you know that you can tour post-acute facilities (once called nursing homes) just by calling and making an appointment? A designated staff member will escort you around the building, explain services, and even show you an empty guest room. You are welcome to ask questions and even watch rehabilitation therapy sessions in progress. Taking a tour ahead of time demystifies post-acute care and provides you with the reassurance you might need. You’ll also want to screen post-acute facilities for the types of insurance plans accepted to make certain you’re in network ahead of time. Whether you’re exploring care options for yourself or a loved one, facilities are accustomed to clients calling and asking for tours. So, take advantage of this opportunity to learn more before making such an important decision that will greatly impact ongoing recovery.
