Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities)

Nursing care facilities, also called skilled nursing facilities, provide 24/7 nursing and rehabilitative care for people who need medical supervision or help with daily activities. Jobs may include certified nursing assistants, licensed practical and registered nurses, rehabilitation therapy assistants, activity staff, and care coordinators who track health needs and assist with treatment plans. Work is usually hands-on and shift-based, with physical demands like lifting or supporting patients, and often requires state licensure or certification for clinical roles.
