It's All About What Our Guests & Employees Think About Us

Laurels has excellent care. My Mom and my Father-in-law have both been in recently. Both for rehab. Laurel's staff is personal and caring and involved. Mom was in the memory unit and my Father-in-law was in the rehab hall. I had no concerns while my mom and my Father-in-law were there.

The staff were attentive and kind for the most part. Mom was cared for.

Long term staff that know how to provide the utmost care. Longevity in long term care is rare, but essential to quality care. The Laurels of Dekalb has that and sees a lot of return admissions because of this quality care. Cudos to The Laurels of Dekalb, agency free since it's conception.

Advocacy

Skilled nursing communities (SNFs) like Ciena Healthcare provide crucial services for our most vulnerable population: the frail and elderly. Today’s SNFs have significantly evolved over time to provide both long-term comprehensive care and short-term rehabilitation services. However, in comparison to other medical settings, especially hospitals, SNFs are often overlooked for important resources and funding.

As health care evolves, skilled nursing communities are increasingly providing care previously delivered in hospitals. Nationwide, the 65 and older population will double over the next 20 years. By 2040, it could triple. As our population ages, SNFs are becoming increasingly vital to the care and wellbeing of our seniors.

SNFs need advocates and allies to actively engage with their representatives and speak up about important issues facing our industry. This page is designed to share ways you can help support SNFs and the vital services they provide for our elders.


Contact Your Elected Officials and Voice Your Support for SNFs!

It is crucial the voices of SNF supporters be heard by Congress. Members of Congress value their constituents’ opinions and it is critical they hear from our advocates and allies.
