I agree, but does Sisters of Mercy provide skilled nursing?

  Compared to which other nursing home? If you're going to take a jab at something you should compare it to what you consider "skilled nursing" Doesn't matter where you go, a nurse still requires state licensing and testing... The workers doing all the grunt work are STNAs, or, state tested nursing assistants, which again, doesn't change regardless of facility.

    I think you misunderstood me, or I'm not sure how you got the impression I'm taking a jab at anybody. TFA pertains to nursing homes (a.k.a. "skilled nursing facilities"), not personal care homes or assisted living. Sisters of Mercy seems to fall under one of the latter categories, so the poster to which I responded may have conflated the two. Obviously, Sisters of Mercy has nurses (who are skilled) working for them. I was only curious whether they provide care that can't be obtained at an assisted living facility, such as IV meds and ventilators. But they aren't listed by the ProPublica tool, so that probably answers my question.

    “Skilled nursing” is an industry term for the services provided to elderly people who are not able to live semi-independently, and need daily nursing care for health issues or significant degree of mental decline.

  Yes. Do you find skilled nursing in this facilities? No.
