The short-term residency program at St. Margaret’s Family of Care aims to get our short-term residents home as quickly as safely possible. We also understand that they need care and rehabilitation for a short time so they can get back to living their best lives.
Even when the goal is to get home (or to another desired setting), we work to ensure that our short-term residents are comfortable and content in our skilled stay program. Our compassionate, skilled staff works with each individual patient to get them the personalized care they need to get back to their best.
Our Short-Term Residency
Our short-term and long-term residencies are both centered around the household model, in which most residents have their own private room, located within a group of rooms known as a neighborhood. Each neighborhood shares community spaces, such as a hearth room and country kitchen.
St. Margaret’s skilled nursing facility offers the option of living on the fourth-floor neighborhood, which has 18 total beds, including 14 private rooms. We are dedicated to serving individuals for a short term on this particular floor of our senior rehabilitation center.
An On-Site Gym and Therapists Make Our Short-Term Residency Convenient for Our Patients
Many New Orleans residents have benefited greatly by choosing a skilled stay program. Here, our on-site therapy gym and therapists are ready to quickly get you back to your desired setting, most likely home. Whether you need physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy, we have you covered.
If you’re in the Greater New Orleans area and would like more information about our short-term, skilled nursing facility options, please call 504-279-6414 to inquire about our ‘Back to Home Program.’
Relax and Unwind on Our Outdoor Patios and Indoor Lounge Areas
Our residents have many places to relax and recharge at St. Margaret’s Family of Care, including our many outdoor patios and indoor lounge areas. Many of our activities are held in these areas, including arts and crafts, Mardi Gras balls, and music therapy.
Other activities organized by our Activities Director include bingo, Fiestas, ice cream socials, fitness classes, singing, dancing, gardening, and crafting. With both structured and unstructured activities offered, there is always something to do regardless of a person’s interest or abilities.
Enjoy a Wealth of Amenities at Our Short-Term Residency
Our facility has many amenities that can be enjoyed whenever and however our residents want. They might choose to spend peaceful time in our chapel or stroll our three lush outdoor gardens. Our library waits for short- and long-term residents to find their next favorite book, and our hair salon lets residents look and feel their best with total convenience.
We believe that health is about more than the body. Our residents are at their best when they are mentally and spiritually healthy, and our unique model helps encourage this for them.
