Nursing Home Care
A nursing home is a place for people who don't need to be in a hospital, but can't be cared for at home. Most nursing homes have nursing aides and skilled nurses on hand 24 hours a day. The staff provide medical care, and may also provide physical, speech and occupational therapy.

Long-term care is not always a favorite topic for people to discuss; however, it is a topic that does arise in people’s lives, sometimes planned and sometimes unexpectedly. Long-term care may be an option for individuals when they begin to need more help on a daily basis due to a disability or chronic illness. Long-term care can include a variety of services, such as personal care, medication management, meals, homemaking, and around-the-clock supervision. The type of services and the amount of care that are offered may vary from person to person, based on each individual’s unique needs. Before pursuing “long-term care,” it is important for individuals to have an understanding of the different kinds of care offered so they can be prepared in planning for the next situation ahead of them.Caregiver's Corner Podcast
