Skilled nursing facilities provide both short-term and long-term care for individuals who are recovering from an injury, illness or surgery. In Renee's case, she will need extensive physical therapy for two months which requires skilled nursing care. Adult day-care and assisted living do not provide the level of care needed for Renee's recovery, while extended care is typically reserved for individuals who require long-term care for chronic illnesses or disabilities.
