Skilled nursing care is a specialized medical treatment or rehabilitation provided by licensed nursing and therapy professionals that requires their technical expertise to be safely and effectively performed. This type of care focuses on specific medical needs, treatments, and conditions that necessitate more than basic assistance with daily living, often following an illness, injury, or surgery. Examples include wound care, intravenous (IV) therapy, medication management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, all performed under the supervision of a licensed nurse.
