Do you know the difference between Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) & Rehabilitation Hospitals (Rehabs)?
Skilled nursing and rehabilitation are both types of medical care that can help people recover from injuries or illnesses, but they differ in the type of care they provide, the length of stay, and the level of intensity:
Type of Care: Skilled nursing care is for people who need daily care for any health condition, while rehabilitation is for people who have lost abilities they need for daily life. Rehabilitation focuses on helping patients reach their highest possible level of functioning so they can return home as soon as possible.
Length of Stay: Rehabilitation stays are typically shorter than skilled nursing stays. Rehabilitation lasts up to 16 days, while skilled nursing stays are at least 28 days.
Level of Intensity: Rehabilitation therapies are more intensive than the therapies provided at skilled nursing facilities.
Medicare Coverage: Skilled nursing care is covered by Medicare under most circumstances, whereas long-term care services in nursing homes are not.

Did you know that there are 4 different licenses that Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) may quality for under the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)? An ALF may have a Standard License or 1 of 3 Specialty Licenses: Limited Nursing Services (LNS), Extended Congregate Care (ECC), and Limited Mental Health (LMH) services (Pg. 75 of linked source). To obtain a specialty license, facilities must meet additional requirements, including those related to staffing and staff training. Admission criteria for Standard, LNS, & LMH is outlined by AHCA here: Rule: 59A-36.006 and for ECC here: Rule: 59A-36.021. An important criterion during patient assessment is their ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL), with supervision or assistance if necessary. ADL means functions and tasks for self-care, including ambulation, bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, and toileting, and other similar tasks. There are some nuances for those who are Medicaid eligible that need to be considered and can be found here:
