Skilled Nursing Facilities

Skilled Nursing facilities, commonly known as Nursing Homes, are designed for seniors who require 24-hour assistance and monitoring. Nursing Homes provide the highest level of care outside of a hospital.

Skilled Nursing facilities are for older adults who have more complex medical needs and require assistance with activities of daily living such as:

• Bathing
• Dressing
• Housekeeping
• Eating
• Mobility
• Medical Care

Who typically resides in a Nursing Home?

Nursing Home residents typically require more extensive personal and medical care and have physical and/or mental impairments. Often, skilled nursing facility residents stay short-term for recovery before returning home.
