Many occupants of nursing homes are persons with behavioral issues, which can consist of a tendency to wander, verbal outbursts, or resisting assistance. Types of care services and amenities offered at nursing homes might include injections, adult day services , help with shopping and transportation, and help with legal questions. A significant amount of inhabitants tend to be single women who have less social support, and about half of nursing home residents are older than 85 years old. Often times individuals might select life in a nursing home over another type of community due to a physical or mental disability that prevents them from easily accomplishing their lifestyle goals.
