A Nursing Home is a licensed facility that is staffed with 24-hour on-site nursing professionals for the care of the frail residents who require a high level of medical care and assistance. Short-term rehabilitative care can include such therapies as intensive physical, occupational or speech therapy in order to restore a patient to a former capacity. Services include medical care, psycho-social and personal services. Residents typically share a room and have group meals in a dining area unless they are too ill to join other residents. Group activities are also available for those who can partake. Some facilities have special units for Alzheimer’s residents. Also referred to as a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), Convalescent Care Home, Nursing Center and/or Long-Term Care Facility.
