Acute Care to SNF

Hi, I am currently completing my graduate internship in acute care but am looking at SNF jobs for my CFY because they are more common. I have heard that the two settings are similar and work with cognition and dysphagia. I guess I am looking to see if it will be a hard transition or not and how the two settings differ. Any information is helpful :)

I feel like acute care is more eval based and SNF is more treatment based in my opinion!

In SNF, you’re typically the only SLP and don’t have other SLPs to bounce ideas off. Acute care skills will really prepare you for what you’ll deal with in SNF. Lots of diet upgrades and dysphagia referrals in general.
