There are many care services available to help the elderly and their families manage situations that are related to age, or geriatric care options. Some of the options we will discuss in this nursing home guide are assisted living, nursing homes, and adult day cares.
The first part of this nursing home guide will be nursing homes. They provide you with facilities with skilled nurses for seniors who require constant care. They will have a trained nurse available twenty four hours per day to help your loved one. Nursing homes are often a separate facility, but often they are inside a hospital.
Assisted living facilities are another type of senior care housing. They can provide housing, personal care services, and health care to seniors who need some assistance. Compared to a traditional nursing home, an assisted living facility is usually more independent. Although they often provide many of the nursing services that nursing homes offer, they do not provide all of them.
An adult day care center is a facility that provides companionship and care for seniors who need assistance during the day. They are staffed with senior caregivers and it helps to encourage socialization among senior citizens. Some adult day care centers are in separate facilities, but they may also be found in a senior center, church, hospital, school, or nursing facility. The costs for this type of service can vary depending on what is offered.
In this nursing home guide, I hope that you have learned about the different types of senior care centers available. Before choosing what home to place your elderly loved one in, I would highly recommend the book, Nursing Home Secrets Revealed, which can help you make the decision to put your family member in a nursing home, and provides help on choosing the right home.
