  2. Skilled Nursing Care: Services provided by licensed personal, including administering medications, managing wounds, monitoring vital signs, and providing medical assessments.
  3. Rehabilitation Services: Assistance from physical, occupational, or speech therapists to help patients regain or improve their functional abilities.
  4. Chronic Disease Management: Support for individuals with chronic illnesses, including education on managing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or respiratory issues.
  5. Monitoring and Supervision: Regular check-ins to ensure the individual’s safety and well-being, often including tracking health changes and reporting concerns to healthcare providers.

Skilled personal care is typically delivered in various settings, including home health care, assisted living facilities, or rehabilitation centers, and is tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual.
