Degraff Memorial Hospital-Skilled Nursing Facility

Degraff Memorial Hospital-Skilled Nursing Facility follows Medicare and Medicaid rules for care and has a strong reputation for quality, being rated five stars by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and ranking in the top 13% of nursing homes nationwide according to U.S. News & World Report, so folks coming here find both skilled nursing and a range of support for different needs. Admission nurses respond quickly when someone is referred, making the move-in process smoother for everyone involved. Long-term care, subacute rehabilitation, and 24-hour skilled nursing are available for people who can't manage at home, and the staff works to give personalized treatment plans where the focus is always on each resident's needs. Hospice care services are here too, so end-of-life support can stay close by, with most costs covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance, though if people get some types of hospice care outside the patient's home, there might be extra charges for room, board, or care that isn't related to the main diagnosis. Degraff Memorial Hospital-Skilled Nursing Facility works with Niagara County nursing homes, hospitals, and adult homes to bring expertise and comfort to residents and their families, especially when it comes to hospice care-being accredited by ACHC since 1989 helps set a high standard there. There are service contracts with hospitals, nursing homes, intermediate care facilities, and adult care facilities, so people get continuity in their care when moving between settings. A team of nurses, aides, and other healthcare professionals provides a supportive, caring environment. For those with special needs, like pediatric or maternity care, the hospital connects with services such as High Risk Pregnancy & Delivery, Maternal Fetal Medicine, OB/GYN Centers, and even an app called YoMingo. Adult care includes services like adult primary care, diabetes-endocrinology help, wound care, blood draws, genetic testing for both kids and adults, home care from the Visiting Nursing Association (VNA), and adult day services. Degraff Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Facility, along with HighPointe on Michigan for adults who need longer-term stays, rounds out the picture, and outpatient rehab and lab services help keep residents' health on track. Staff throughout the facility place emphasis on comfort, respect, and dignity while supporting both residents and family members through every stage of care.
