Management of skilled nursing facilities involves overseeing the day-to-day operations of the facility to ensure that it provides high-quality care to residents. Skilled nursing facilities provide long-term care services to individuals who require specialized medical care and assistance with daily living activities. EmLucy is a facility management system that provides management with tools to optimize the operation of their facility.

Staffing: Ensuring that the facility is adequately staffed with skilled and qualified healthcare professionals, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants.
Quality of Care: Ensuring that the facility is providing high-quality care to residents, meeting or exceeding regulatory requirements, and implementing best practices in care delivery.
Financial Management: Managing the facility's finances, including budgeting, billing, and reimbursement from payers such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Compliance: Ensuring that the facility is in compliance with federal and state regulations, including licensure requirements, healthcare laws, and safety standards.
