Is a Nursing Home the Right Choice?
Nursing home care is for those who need 24-hour nursing care and assistance with more than three activities of daily living.

Nursing homes may be based within a hospital or they may be freestanding facilities. Some nursing homes also provide long-term specialized care units for a variety of conditions including:

Alzheimer’s disease (dementia)
Hospice
Rehabilitation and stroke
Respite care
