Why are skilled nursing facilities needed?
SNF’s provide the necessary level of medical and round-the-clock care for individuals who no longer require the specialized care of a hospital setting. The skilled services may be provided in a long-term care facility, rehab center or may be a distinct part of a hospital. While in the hospital, each patient will have access to other services which include social services, discharge planning, patient education and daily activities which can include pet therapy and social games.
