“Providing care to geriatrics living in a skilled nursing facility is a great opportunity for enhancing preventative care and encouraging open communication with patients, families and all health care workers. I feel it is important to keep skilled nursing facilities as much as a home environment as possible with the added benefits of today’s modern medical advances.”
