What are the factors that need to be considered in determining whether or not someone needs to go to a skilled nursing facility?

24/7 care: the key thing is not able to maintain independently - medications, self care, daily routine such as bathing, clothing, toileting, household activities, lack of availability to provide supervision, lack of financial resource available, lack of family commitment to care for and the distance between two locations. Security of health and safety are another factors
