This option is for people who require continuous and ongoing nursing assistance or monitoring.

Nursing homes typically offer three levels of care:

  • Custodial: minimal nursing, but help with hygiene, meals, dressing, etc.
  • Intermediate: help for those who cannot live alone but do not need 24-hour skilled nursing care
  • Skilled Nursing: intensive 24-hour skilled nursing care
