Definición

  • Skilled-nursing facilities play a vital role in the continuum of healthcare services, providing care in one of the most intensive healthcare settings outside hospitals. Skilled-nursing facilities meet the short-term care needs of individuals with intensive medical and rehabilitation needs or needs for hospice or respite services, and they provide more continuous long-term care for persons with disabilities, chronic conditions, and custodial care needs.
