Skilled Nursing, Rehab, and Long-Term Care
Long-term care is a vital part of today's healthcare continuum, offering care that's broader in scope than what's usually available at home but is a "step down" from a hospital stay.
Today, nursing homes offer skilled nursing care, rehab services, and personal care to people with complex or chronic medical conditions; people recovering from orthopedic surgery or injury, cardiac events, or strokes; and frail seniors who can no longer live safely at home.
In contrast to the "retirement home" of 20 or 30 years ago, today's nursing homes are vibrant, home-like, activity-filled facilities that focus on resident health, independence, and the best possible quality of life. Most people are surprised to learn that about 51 percent of the people admitted to a nursing home return home or to another living arrangement.
