What to Expect in A SNF: Physician Visits
What role will a physician play in your loved one’s stay at a skilled nursing facility?
After your loved one checks into the facility, a physician will pay them a visit in the first 24 hours.
During the first visit, the physician will verify your loved one’s medical information, sign off on medications, and make sure all medical information has been documented.
Over the rest of your loved one’s stay, a physician will check on them twice a week. Physicians will also play a role in your loved one’s care plan meetings, where their progress is evaluated.
