Why Choose Private Duty Skilled Nursing?
-
Continuous and Long-Term Care: Unlike regular skilled nursing, which is often short-term and intermittent, private duty skilled nursing provides long-term, continuous care, making it ideal for patients with severe or chronic medical needs who require constant attention.
-
Customized, Out-of-Pocket Services: These services are often paid out-of-pocket or through long-term care insurance, as they may not be covered by Medicare or Medicaid except in certain specific cases. Families or patients arrange for these services to meet personalized care needs.
