24-Hour Care: Life Tree provides 24-hour skilled nursing care from registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) who are experienced in providing care to seniors with a wide range of medical conditions.
Medical Assessments and Monitoring: RNs conduct comprehensive medical assessments, monitor vital signs, and assess residents' overall health status to identify any changes or concerns.
Medication Management: Skilled nurses oversee medication management, ensuring accurate administration, monitoring for side effects, and communicating with healthcare providers regarding medication adjustments.
Wound Care: RNs and LPNs provide specialized wound care for residents with pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, or other skin conditions, promoting healing and preventing infections.
Respiratory Care: Skilled nurses manage respiratory conditions, providing oxygen therapy, respiratory treatments, and monitoring of respiratory status.
Pain Management: Nurses implement comprehensive pain management strategies, including medication administration, non-pharmacological interventions, and regular pain assessments to ensure resident comfort.

Catheter Care and Ostomy Care: Nurses provide specialized care for residents with catheters or ostomies, ensuring proper hygiene, preventing complications, and promoting comfort.

Therapy Care Services
Physical Therapy: Physical therapists (PTs) work with residents to improve mobility, strength, balance, and coordination. They develop individualized exercise programs, provide gait training, and assist with pain management.
Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapists (OTs) focus on enhancing residents' ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They provide adaptive equipment recommendations, develop strategies to improve fine motor skills, and promote independence in daily tasks.

These programs combine skilled nursing and therapy services to promote healing, restore function, and facilitate a safe transition back to their previous level of independence.
Integrated Approach
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Skilled nurses and therapists collaborate closely with each other, physicians, and other members of the care team to develop and implement comprehensive care plans that address each resident's unique needs and goals.
Coordinated Care: The integrated approach ensures that skilled nursing and therapy services are coordinated seamlessly, maximizing the effectiveness of treatments and promoting optimal outcomes.
