SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES
 

Skilled Nursing Facilities, also known as Chronic and Convalescent Nursing Homes, provide residents with nursing care, meals, recreational activities, help with daily living activities, and protective supervision.

Residents live in private or semi-private rooms. They have uncontrolled or unstable or chronic conditions, including conditions that require substantial daily assistance with personal care. Some residents may have physical or mental impairments that keep them from living independently.

Skilled nursing care is provided under medical supervision to carry out non-surgical treatment of chronic diseases or convalescent stages of acute diseases or injuries. Some nursing homes have special units for people with Alzheimer's disease.
