Intensive medical care is provided by which facility?

• A. Assisted living
• B. Nursing homes
• C. Skilled nursing facilities
• D. Types of care facilities

Answer: (C)

Intensive medical care is provided by skilled nursing facilities. They deliver 24-hour skilled nursing supervision, physician oversight, and access to therapies, wound care, IV therapy, and other medically complex services. This level of care is designed for residents who need ongoing medical management beyond what assisted living offers. Assisted living focuses on help with daily activities and social support but not continuous skilled medical care, while the term nursing home can refer to facilities with varying levels of care, and “types of care facilities” isn’t a specific setting.
