A member asked:
Which costs more--a snf or rcfe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not interchangeable: A SNF is for people who require skilled nursing care while a residential care facility is for someone who may need some support in order to preserve a measure of independence but who does not need regular skilled nursing care. Both are expensive but usually a SNF is more.
