Overview of Adira Medical Resort

Adira Medical Resort handles five care types in Bossier City, LA. Those are palliative care, hospice care, respite care, skilled nursing, and the nursing home level. The two nursing designations put licensed nursing in the building, and staffing covers all twenty-four hours of the day.

Hospice care is about comfort as a life closes. Palliative care attends to comfort and symptom relief for somebody carrying a serious illness. Respite is temporary cover for a resident while the family caregiver is travelling or getting over something.

Short-Term Rehab is named as well, for the stretch a resident spends getting back to doing things unaided. Transportation for Outpatient Appointments is a named program, so those visits are arranged through the home.

The count stops at 77 beds. Medicare and private money are the two accepted routes, and a family needing short-term coverage while the usual caregiver is away is well served by the respite designation.
