Nursing homes are residential care facilities for seniors who require 24-hour medical supervision, monitoring and care. They provide long and short-term services to older adults convalescing after a stay in hospital or who are suffering from chronic illness. Residents have access to services, including medication administration, physical therapy and wound care. Seniors only needing assistance with personal care or basic nursing care may benefit from less intensive care options, such as assisted living or in-home care.
