Skilled Nursing Facilities vs. Nursing Homes: What You Need to Know
Often skilled nursing facilities (SNF) and nursing homes are used interchangeably as many facilities offer both services, however, they are two separate things. With the negative stigma surrounding nursing homes, it is important to know the difference between the two and use proper terms when communicating with your patients and their families. That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am talking about the differences between skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes so you can better communicate the right care with your patients!
