Are nursing homes equipped to handled urinary tract infections?

Question: My father is 78 years old and has had his bladder removed due to cancer. He has frequent UTIs. He recently entered a nursing home. Does he have to go to the hospital for care when he has a UTI?

Answers:
some nursing homes are also classified as skilled nursing facilities. these facilities should be able to provide iv therapy, feeding tubes, urinary catheters, and other special equipment.

if your nursing home is not a skilled nursing facility, then they will take the resident to the hospital for treatment. he may need iv antibiotics and fluid replacement. the nursing home will hold his bed for a limited number of days while he is hospitalized.

Nursing homes can check urine when UTI is suspected, they then communicate with the doctor who can prescribe the antibiotics if needed, This can all be done with your father in his room, good luck
