Nursing facilities deliver a range of services tailored to individual requirements. Typically, these establishments offer both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care within the same setup.

Short-term rehabilitation, also known as “Skilled Nursing Care,” “Rehab-to-Home,” or “Transitional Care,” caters to individuals who have been discharged from the hospital post a severe illness, injury, or surgery, but necessitate additional recovery time before returning home safely. Short-term rehab patients, based on their medical condition, usually require prolonged medical attention, nursing care, and therapies for several weeks before discharge.

On the other hand, long-term care residents have continuous medical needs and demand 24/7 assistance and supervision throughout their lifetime. In essence, the nursing facility becomes their permanent abode, and they rely on skilled nursing and medical professionals to meet their ongoing support requirements and ensure the best possible quality of life.
