Ask Sarah

Can we do it all?

Meadowlark Hills is each resident’s home. The organization strives to provide high-quality care and customer service for those who live at Meadowlark Hills while creating a welcoming and comfortable environment an individual can call home and staff can take pride in their work.

But is Meadowlark Hills always able to take care of any resident needs? The short answer is no – not if the clinical acuity of a resident is too high for a skilled nursing or transitional care facility to manage.

Sometimes there are instances where a resident needs care that is outside what the skilled nursing facilities can provide. In these instances, hospitals or long-term acute care (LTAC) facilities are most appropriate for the level of care required. If a resident needs to stay at a hospital or LTAC, the staff at Meadowlark Hills will coordinate with the facility to ensure a smooth transition and will look forward to the resident’s return to their home at Meadowlark Hills when their condition has improved.

Please remember to submit your ponderings to the Ask Sarah box at the Hospitality Desk.

See you next week and thanks for stopping by!
