Posted on by [email protected]

 

June 1st, 2023 | Billings, MT

Eduro Healthcare has acquired two additional facilities in Billings, MT, bringing the state total to seven. This follows the recent acquisition of the Eastern Montana Veterans Home in March, which shows promising growth in the state. The cumulative 310 additional licensed beds in the state offer Eduro ample opportunity to continue serving the residents of Montana.

Eduro has a strong history of operations in Montana, first entering the state in 2018 with a facility in Butte. The success in Butte prompted the other additions, particularly the two veterans homes that the state requested for Eduro to take over.

“We are thrilled to partner once again with the team at Legacy on these two Billings, Montana assets,” Managing Director Michael Bewsey said. “They have proven to be a great resource to us in many aspects and most importantly a great transactional partner. We are excited to build upon their stellar reputation as we incorporate these two buildings into the Eduro Montana family. Montana continues to be a top acquisition target for our team, and we look forward to continued and immediate growth in the state.”

The two facilities have rebranded under new names:

The Balancing Act: Navigating the Challenges of Caring for Aging Parents

Posted on by [email protected]

 

As our parents age, we often find ourselves faced with the challenging and emotional task of providing care and support for them. While it is rewarding to be able to give back to the individuals who raised us, the responsibilities and demands associated with caregiving can lead to caregiver burnout. In this article, we will explore the challenges of caring for aging parents, including caregiver burnout, and discuss how nursing home and senior rehabilitation centers can offer much-needed relief and support.

Caregiver Burnout: The Silent Struggle

Caring for an aging parent can be an all-consuming task, with adult children often sacrificing their personal lives, careers, and even health to provide the necessary care. Caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that can result from the prolonged stress of caregiving. Some common signs of caregiver burnout include irritability, fatigue, feelings of hopelessness, and social withdrawal. As caregiver burnout progresses, it can lead to a decline in the quality of care provided, affecting not only the caregiver but also the aging parent.

Understanding Nursing Homes and Senior Rehabilitation Centers
Nursing homes and senior rehabilitation centers can provide a comprehensive solution to the challenges of caring for aging parents. These facilities offer a safe, supportive environment where seniors can receive expert care tailored to their individual needs. The range of services provided by these facilities includes medical supervision, assistance with daily living activities, physical therapy, and social engagement opportunities. By entrusting the care of your aging parent to skilled professionals, you can ensure they receive the best possible care while also alleviating the burden on yourself as a caregiver.
The Benefits of Respite Stays
Respite stays are short-term stays at nursing homes or senior rehabilitation centers that provide temporary relief for family caregivers. These stays can range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the needs of the caregiver and the senior. Respite care offers numerous benefits, including:
  • Allowing caregivers to rest and recharge, reducing the risk of caregiver burnout
  • Providing seniors with an opportunity to socialize and engage in new activities
  • Giving caregivers the chance to attend to their personal and professional commitments without feeling guilty
Respite stays can be an invaluable tool for managing the challenges of caregiving, helping to maintain a healthy balance between the caregiver’s personal life and their caregiving responsibilities.

Making the Decision: When to Consider Nursing Home or Senior Rehabilitation Center Care
Deciding to move a parent to a nursing home or senior rehabilitation center can be a difficult and emotional process. However, recognizing the signs that professional care may be necessary can make the transition smoother for both the caregiver and the senior. Some indicators that it may be time to consider professional care include:
  • The caregiver experiencing burnout or declining health
  • The aging parent’s medical needs becoming too complex for the caregiver to manage effectively
  • The senior requiring constant supervision due to cognitive decline or mobility issues
  • The caregiver’s personal or professional life suffering as a result of caregiving responsibilities
  • It is essential to have open and honest discussions with your aging parent about their needs and preferences when considering nursing home or senior rehabilitation center care. Involving them in the decision-making process can help to alleviate feelings of guilt and ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible.
Conclusion
Caring for aging parents can be both rewarding and challenging. Recognizing the signs of caregiver burnout and understanding the role of nursing homes and senior rehabilitation centers in providing relief and support can help caregivers maintain a healthy balance in their lives. Respite stays can offer temporary reprieve, allowing caregivers to recharge and attend to their personal and professional commitments. Ultimately, making the decision to transition an aging parent to professional care should be a collaborative process, with the wellbeing of both the caregiver and the senior at the forefront of the discussion. By addressing these challenges, families can ensure that their aging loved ones receive the best possible care, while also preserving their own health and wellbeing.

Eduro Healthcare Adds Second VA Building in Montana

Posted on by [email protected]

March 1, 2023

Eduro Healthcare assumed operations of the Eastern Montana Veterans Home (EMVH) in Glendive, MT. This is the second veterans home they will be operating in Montana, and the fifth skilled nursing facility for them in the state. The EMVH has 80 Medicare-licensed beds, including 16 special care unit beds, and has been in operation since 1995.

Managing Director Michael Bewsey expressed his excitement about the new addition; “Our team is committed to the Veterans of Montana and we have built one of the best teams in the country to support each facility we operate. Our company has thrived during one of the most operationally difficult times in the history of the industry, and I give our various teams all the credit. We are proud of the relationship we have built with DPHHS and are honored that they continue to trust Eduro to meet the fiscal needs of the State of Montana as well as the physical needs of the Veterans we serve.”

Eduro was selected by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) to open a brand new veterans home in December of 2020. The Southwest Montana Veterans Home (SWMVH) in Butte has seen great success in those two years, including receiving the highest levels of employee satisfaction among Montana’s veteran homes and any state-run facility surveyed*. DPHHS Director Charles Brereton commented on Eduro’s qualification for the additional state facility; “DPHHS has been impressed with Eduro Healthcare’s management of our Veterans Home in Butte, and we are looking forward to expanding this partnership to Glendive.”
