How often should Skilled Nursing Rehab Patients be checked on?

This depends on the patient, but typically staff checks in with patients multiple times throughout the day.

Typical times are: when nursing is passing medications, performing assessments and treatments; when nurse aides are assisting patients with morning and evening activities of daily living; when therapy is working with patients; at meal times, and when patients press the call button.

Some patients may require more frequent monitoring, but that would need to be a part of their specific care-plan.
