Skilled nursing facilities care for long term care patients that generally have more chronic conditions such as disabilities, cognitive impairments or other illnesses. Many long term patients are admitted from the community because their health has deteriorated to the point where the facility is a safer alternative to home and they need around-the-clock nursing care. Long term patients generally require greater assistance with activities of daily living, in addition to therapy and nursing services, such as occupational therapy, medication management and behavioral health services.

It is important to note that the average length of stay of the resident population is on a decline, with the average length of stay among all patients now less than 100 days.
