What do skilled nursing facilities provide?

• A. 24-hour nursing care under direct supervision of a nurse all the time and emphasis on rehabilitation, gait training and bowel and bladder training
• B. High-level surgical suites
• C. Administrative tasks only
• D. Hospital in the home services

Answer: (A)

Skilled nursing facilities provide around-the-clock skilled nursing care under the supervision of licensed nurses, with a strong emphasis on rehabilitation to restore function. This includes ongoing medical management, monitoring, and therapy services (such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy), along with assistance with daily activities and specific training like gait and bowel/bladder management. They are designed for post-acute recovery or ongoing skilled care, not for performing high-level surgeries, not limited to administrative tasks, and not a hospital-at-home model.
