[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under Jimmo, need for skilled care essentially means that you would deteriorate without it or that it necessary to slow deterioration. That is still a tough hoop to jump through though not as tough as needing to progress. [/quote]

Is skilled care different than what is offered in a LTC facility?[/quote]

I think so. Skilled care means they need P/T, O/T and nursing care for sure.

I think LTC is more custodial? Daily needs like bathing, dressing?[/quote]

Got it - thanks. The Jimmo (sp?) settlement seems fairly narrow as I'm guessing many people who do not make progress probably need more custodial than skilled care. Wouldn't want OP to base decisions based on one poster's interpretation of the decision.[/quote]

I think Jimmo covers people with neurological problems like ALS, MS etc. well, but not able bodied people with, say, dementia.  They need custodial (memory) care, but they don't actually need P/T, O/T etc.[/quote]
