skilled nursing facilities

Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are specialized healthcare centers that provide around-the-clock medical care and assistance for individuals recovering from illness, injury, or managing chronic conditions. They employ licensed nurses and healthcare professionals to deliver services such as medication management, physical therapy, and wound care. These facilities are designed for short-term stays when patients need extended medical support beyond what typical assisted living or home care can offer. SNFs aim to help residents regain their health and improve their independence with structured, professional care in a safe environment.
