I don't know the differences. He was in an Adult Home. He fell off a
curb into a parking lot and broke his neck. He went from (in the
hospital) intensive care, a regular room and then a different hospital
in the rehab unit. The rehab unit said he wasn't making progress (he
has dementia), so said he needed a skilled nursing facility. Didn't
know how long he would be there, but now they say that it will be a
while. It is unknown whether his vertebrae will heal.
