Nursing
homes are a type of residential care that provides around-the-clock nursing
care for elderly people. Twenty-four-hour nursing care is available. Nursing
homes will provide short-term rehabilitative stays following a surgery, illness
or injury which may require physical therapy, occupational therapy or
speech-language therapy. Nursing homes offer other services such as planned
activities and daily housekeeping services. Nursing homes may also be referred
to as convalescent care, skilled nursing or a long-term facility. Nursing homes
may offer memory care services or have a separate area specified for memory
care.
