What is a skilled nursing facility?

Depending on the level of post-acute care you need, your physician may refer you to a skilled nursing facility following your hospital stay.

A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services, in addition to supporting service-providers such as social workers, dietitians and certified nursing assistants under the supervision of a physician.

Other skilled nursing facility options

We want you to have the smoothest recovery possible. That’s why LVHN has partnered with select skilled nursing facilities throughout all our LVHN communities. These partnerships form the PACC.

Our PACC skilled nursing facility partners, including our own Transitional Skilled Unit in Allentown, have:

  • Higher quality-star ratings from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
  • Shorter length of stay
  • Low readmissions to the hospital

Quality ratings for these agencies are online at medicare.gov.

Helpful tips for choosing a PACC skilled nursing facility

Please call your insurance provider to ensure the facility you choose is covered. Some insurance companies have contracts with specific providers, suppliers and facilities, which may affect the post-acute provider or services you can use.

If you choose a post-acute provider or service that is not covered under your insurance plan or not participating in Medicare, you could be liable and might have to pay for the costs involved.

If you are enrolled in a managed care organization, you should check whether your chosen provider is covered by your insurance plan before you pick that provider.
