   There are three levels of Nursing Care, Skilled, Intermediate, and Custodial.  Skilled Nursing care requires that you need the services of a licensed professional and that your health can improve by utilizing those services.  For example, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy would fall under those categories.  Custodial Care means that you are not going to improve.  You just need the assistance of others to perform certain activities of daily living.  Medicare only pays for Skilled Nursing and is limited to 100 days.
