Skilled nursing care is provided by a registered nurse (RNs) and other licensed healthcare professionals in the areas of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Skilled nursing home care services provided in your home can be for short-term rehabilitation from injuries or illness or even for more long-term care treating chronic medical conditions.  In order to receive skilled nursing services in your home and for it to be covered by primary insurers, it must be ordered by your doctor.
