Skilled Care
|
A type of health care given when you need skilled nursing or rehabilitation staff to manage, observe, and evaluate your care. Health care is given by a trained medical professional. Nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language therapy are considered skill care by Medicare. In addition to providing direct care these professionals manage, observe, and evaluate your care. Any service that could be safely done by a non-medical person (or one's self) without the supervision of a nurse is not considered skilled care.
