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.

Every nursing home needs a cat like this one.

The term "skilled nursing facility" is used to differentiate it as a full
care nursing home, not assisted living, senior housing, or a re-hab center.

Highest acuity level in the industry... Nursing facilities offer the highest
intensity level of long term care and are characterized primarily by the
need for 24-hour nursing care. Few persons enter a nursing facility as a
matter of choice.

I think the typical resident would settle for a date willing to take
out her dentures, if you know what I'm getting at.
