Pandemic Impact |
Post COVID Outlook |
The Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market for U.S skilled nursing facility and rehabilitation. The nursing and rehabilitation facilities faced a big crisis that the residents in the facilities were at a high risk of Covid-19 infections and as the pandemic progressed many of such facilities became Covid-19 transmission hotspot and thus had to be closed. |
To avoid the risk of infection, SNFs are installing wireless videoconferencing technologies. These systems provide patients with internet access in their rooms and facilitate easy communication with friends and family. |
The economic downturn owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is putting publicly funded elderly care and long-term care facilities at risk. Medicaid reimbursements have declined and many SNFs operate on thin financial margins. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a steep decline in occupancy of the SNFs and individuals visiting the rehabilitation centers, leading to a loss of revenue and disruption of care required by patients. |
Providing software-based rehabilitation to assess aspects such as motor skills of the patient need to be employed on a large scale, given the difficulty to visit the facilities due to the pandemic situation. Such initiatives are expected to reduce the fear and increase occupancy in SNFs and rehabilitation facilities. |
The reimbursement at skill nursing and rehabilitation facilities is based on Medicare part A & B. Medicare part A gives reimbursement based on inpatient and hospital. According to part A, the prospective payment system is followed where these therapy facilities are paid on the daily basis covering the patient-associated services that include therapy services calculated in minutes nursing along with daily room services. Medicare part B pays for all therapy services given using the CPR codes.
The freestanding segment dominated the market for U.S. skilled nursing facility and rehabilitation held the largest revenue share of 83.68% in 2022 and is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 4.03% during the forecast period.

These facilities boost hospital performance by reducing the length of hospital stay which creates more room for new patients as the older patients are transferred to these facilities. High injuries in the workplace, chronic diseases and an increasing no of accidents boost the market for these hospital-based facilities.
