Skilled Nursing Facility

A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) is a specialized healthcare center that provides 24-hour medical care and rehabilitation services for individuals recovering from illness, surgery, or severe injuries. Unlike regular nursing homes, SNFs offer services from licensed health professionals, such as nurses and therapists, to support patients with complex medical needs. Residents might receive assistance with daily activities and tailored therapies to aid in recovery. SNFs are often recommended for patients transitioning from a hospital setting, ensuring they have the care and support needed to regain independence before returning home.
