Why A is correct
Between skilled and custodial care sits intermediate care — occasional nursing and rehabilitative services under medical supervision that do not require the continuous skilled attention of registered nurses. Michigan's long-term care chapter (M.C.L. 500.3901 to 500.3955) governs how policies define and pay for the various levels of care.
