Skilled Nursing

The security that comes with 24-hour care

Sometimes people need a bit more help to get along. Skilled Nursing Facilities — also known as nursing homes — are the most comprehensive option for residents who need continual care. They provide 24-hour medical care by Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs or LVNs), and Certified Nurses' Aides under physician supervision. A skilled nursing facility usually offers two levels of care: Long Term and Rehabilitation.

	Long Term Care This level of care offers services required to maintain a resident's Daily Living Activities (bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, etc.). Other services typically include laundry, housekeeping, scheduled activities, meals and snacks.
	Rehabilitation Sometimes people who are otherwise healthy, have an acute episode or illness (fracture, stroke, surgical recovery, etc.) that causes them to require more help. That’s where Skilled Care comes in.
