SNF-at-Home
SNF-at-home is an emerging care model that delivers skilled nursing facility-level post-acute care in a patient's home instead of an institutional setting, bundling intensive nursing, therapy, aide support, equipment, and remote monitoring. Unlike hospital-at-home, it has no dedicated Medicare fee-for-service payment model, so today it lives mostly in Medicare Advantage and risk-based arrangements.
