Post-Acute Care
Skilled and sub-acute nursing facilities provide the highest level of care to a patient outside of the hospital. They may provide short-term, rehabilitation, or long term care. Skilled and sub-acute nursing facilities provide a room, meals, skilled nursing and rehabilitative care, and medical services in a safe, supervised environment.
Skilled and sub-acute facilities are certified by the state and federal government agencies to provide levels of care that range from custodial care to skilled nursing that can only be delivered by trained professionals.
