Skilled Nursing refers to a type of medical care provided by licensed professionals, such as nurses and therapists, to individuals who require assistance due to illness, injury, or recovery from surgery. This care is often delivered in specialized facilities, such as nursing homes or rehabilitation centers, and includes services like wound care, medication management, and physical therapy. Patients receiving skilled nursing care typically have complex medical needs that cannot be met by non-professional caregivers. The goal of skilled nursing is to promote recovery, manage chronic conditions, and support patients in regaining their independence through tailored treatment plans and ongoing assessments.
