A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) is a specialized healthcare center that provides 24-hour medical care and support for individuals who need assistance after a hospital stay or those with chronic illnesses. These facilities are staffed with trained professionals, including nurses and therapists, who help patients with daily activities and rehabilitation. Patients in a SNF may receive services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and medication management. The goal is to help them regain their independence and improve their quality of life before returning home or transitioning to a less intensive care setting.
