Choosing the appropriate level of care begins with understanding the difference between skilled nursing and rehabilitation. At Edenbrook Edina, both services are important components of patient care and recovery.
Skilled nursing care provides medical supervision for individuals who need ongoing treatment and monitoring. This includes patients recovering from serious health events or managing conditions that require professional care beyond what can be provided at home.
Rehabilitation care is centered on recovery and independence. Patients participate in therapy programs that help restore strength, mobility, and the ability to perform everyday activities after illness or surgery.
These two types of care often work together. Patients may start with skilled nursing care and transition into rehabilitation as they become more stable. This allows for a balanced approach that supports both health and recovery.
Determining the right care option depends on medical needs, recovery goals, and the patient’s overall condition. Having a clear understanding of these services helps families make well-informed decisions.
