Prosthetics for Patients in Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living Facilities
Prosthetics play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for patients in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and assisted living facilities (ALFs). These advanced devices not only restore physical mobility but also boost mental well-being, allowing patients to regain their independence and confidence. At Jameson Prosthetics, we specialize in providing upper and lower limb prosthetics tailored to meet the specific needs of patients in these settings.
Enhancing Mobility and Independence
For patients with limb limitations, prosthetics are a lifeline that enables them to perform daily activities with ease. Whether it’s an upper limb prosthetic for basic tasks like eating and dressing or a lower limb prosthetic to aid in walking, these devices drastically improve ambulatory functions and overall quality of life.
Collaboration with Physical Therapy Teams
Jameson Prosthetics understands the critical role that physical therapy (PT) teams play in the rehabilitation process. We work closely with your PT team to ensure that each prosthetic device is not only functional but also optimized for the patient’s specific therapy regimen. This collaborative approach accelerates the patient’s progress and helps restore their functional levels prior to amputation.
Why Choose Jameson Prosthetics?
Willingness to Travel
Transportation can be a significant hurdle for patients in SNFs and assisted living facilities. To address this issue, our team at Jameson Prosthetics is willing to travel to your facility, reducing the logistical challenges and ensuring timely care for your patients.
Fast Turnaround Times
Time is of the essence when it comes to prosthetic care. Our streamlined processes ensure fast turnaround times, allowing patients to begin their rehabilitation as soon as possible. This quick response is crucial for maintaining the momentum in therapy and achieving optimal outcomes.
Mental Health Considerations
The psychological impact of limb loss can be profound. At Jameson Prosthetics, we address mental health concerns by providing comprehensive support and counseling. Our goal is to help patients not only adapt to their new prosthetics but also regain their emotional well-being.
Follow-Up Care
Continuous care is essential for the long-term success of prosthetic use. We offer thorough follow-up care to monitor the fit and functionality of each prosthetic device. Our providers are available to coordinate care with skilled and assisted living team members and caregivers. Any necessary adjustments are made promptly, ensuring that the prosthetic remains comfortable and effective.
Revision and Insurance Authorization
Over time, existing prosthetics may require revisions for better fit and comfort. Jameson Prosthetics handles all aspects of insurance authorization, making the revision/replacement process as smooth and hassle-free as possible for both the patient and the facility. New Medicare reimbursement allows for replacement coverage.
Types of Prosthetics Offered
Upper Limb Prosthetics
Our range of upper limb prosthetics includes devices for different levels of amputation, from partial hand prosthetics to full arm prosthetics. Each device is designed to mimic natural movement, providing patients with greater dexterity and functionality.
Lower Limb Prosthetics
For patients with lower limb limitations, we offer a variety of prosthetics designed to restore walking ability and improve balance. Our lower limb prosthetics range from below-knee devices to more complex above-knee solutions.
We provide top-of-the-line prosthetic devices, tailored follow-up care, and a collaborative approach that integrates seamlessly with your facility’s existing care protocols.
