Some scenarios in when 24‑hour skilled nursing care is required:

1. After major surgery, during the period of convalescence when complications may arise.
2. For chronic illnesses which require constant medical monitoring (e.g., advanced cardiac, respiratory, renal conditions).
3. For bedridden patients or those with very limited mobility who need help with daily tasks plus medical support.
4. For people who require wound care, IV therapy, feeding tubes, etc., around the clock.
5. In palliative care or end‑of‑life situations where comfort and symptom control are continuous.
