Skilled Nursing Care
What is a skilled nursing care facility?
A skilled nursing care facility offers both short- and long-term care for individuals who need rehabilitative services or who suffer from serious or persistent healthcare issues that are too difficult to be managed at home or in a personal care setting. All skilled nursing care facilities are licensed and regulated by the Department of Public Health.
What services are offered at a skilled nursing care facility?

- a nurse attending to a post-operative wound or dispensing and monitoring intravenous medications
- a physical therapist working with an individual to rectify strength and balance issues
- a speech therapist assisting an individual in reclaiming his or her ability to communicate following a stroke
