Nursing home or skilled nursing, it's the same place: 24/7 licensed medical care, the highest level of care outside a hospital. Some people come for short-term rehab after surgery or a hospital stay, on their way back home.
Others need ongoing medical care for the long term. Same building, same license, two very different reasons a family ends up there.
