Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extended-care facilities include skilled nursing facilities, subacute-care facilities, medically complex care facilities, and long-term rehabilitation units. These facilities provide long-term care and rehabilitation services for patients who require ongoing medical attention. Hospitals and community healthcare clinics, on the other hand, typically provide acute care and outpatient services, not extended care.
