Client Testimonials
A quick note to let you know how much you, Peter and his associates in the
office at Care Placement helped me during my sisters stay at the hospital.
Being out of state, you became my eyes, ears and heart in extending
yourselves for her. To all of you, I can't thank you enough!

Skilled Nursing
Orange County Care Placement's services are free.
Phone (949)-660-8814
Skilled nursing homes are medical facilities that are allowed to provide services that cannot be dispensed in Assisted Living or Board and Care homes. Typically these services involve managing complex and potentially serious medical problems such as infections, wound care, IV therapy, and coma care. They offer both short and long term care options for those with serious problems and disabilities who are bedridden or need 24 hour nursing care.
So who needs a nursing home? Only those individuals that have serious disabilities to the extent that the services that they need cannot be found through home care, residential care or assisted living facilities. Unfortunately, economics rather than the availability of services often dictate the choice. If a senior requires extensive assistance and has very limited income (perhaps only Social Security) he may have to be placed in a nursing home with the cost paid for by the state under the Medi-Cal program (California's Medicaid program for those with no financial resources of their own). Medi-Cal does not cover fees for Board and Care or Assisted Living Facilities.
Orange County Care Placement's advisors can discuss your needs with you to determine if skilled nursing care is appropriate. Often times we can find an Assisted Living or Board and Care Home which can meet even heavy care needs and ensure a better quality of life. Call us:
