Question

Let us assume that you are a health care administrator. Management of any health care organization contains many challenges, but also provides equal opportunities.

As we are aware there are four levels of long term care available:

A Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)

An Assisted Living Facility

Subacute & Acute Care

A Community Senior Housing Program

As a health care administrator, discuss how would you integrate each level of service? Include in your discussion the challenges you would encounter during such an operation. Also, discuss, how would you address them and describe opportunities presented as you proceed with your challenges.  

Explanation / Answer

* Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) offer services to aid in patient recovery, like rehabilitation therapy and care from nurses and doctors.

* Assisted living. An assisted living residence or assisted living facility (ALF) is a housing facility for people with disabilities or for adults who cannot or chose not to live independently.

* Subacute care is a level of care needed by a patient who does not require hospital acute care, but who requires more intensive skilled nursing care than is provided to the majority of patients in a skilled nursing facility.
