Skilled Nursing Facility vs Regular Nursing Home
Nursing homes (or nursing facilities) are defined as health care institutions that provide onsite 24-hour supervision, nursing services, and personal care. The two basic types of nursing homes are skilled nursing facilities and intermediate care facilities.A skilled nursing facility is an institution that provides inpatient 24-hour skilled nursing services, as prescribed by the client’s primary care provider. The emphasis is on the restorative and rehabilitative potential of the client. Only 5 % of nursing home residents require a skilled level of care. Medicare is the main reimburser.An intermediate care facility is an institution that provides basic custodial or nonskilled personal care, but not skilled nursing care. Custodial care is assistance with ADLs such as transferring from the bed to the chair, putting on clothes, bathing, and eating. The care provided by registered nurses and licensed practical nurses is less intense, but still vital for quality of care and positive resident outcomes. Medicaid and private pay are the main sources of payment.
