Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)

A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) is a type of healthcare center that provides specialized care for individuals who require assistance with daily activities and medical care. This includes services like rehabilitation after surgery, physical therapy, and support for chronic illnesses. Staffed by trained nurses and therapists, SNFs serve patients who may not need full hospitalization but cannot safely live independently. These facilities offer round-the-clock care and a structured environment to help patients recover and regain their strength, often serving as a transition between hospital care and home.
