Complete guide to nursing homes

Lake City, Michigan

Nursing Homes

A nursing home is a building that provides lodging to at least two individuals who have no familial relation to the administrator. This type of establishment offers its residents around-the-clock care by registered nurses. These caregivers offer care for people who cannot properly care for themselves due to their aging.

Often times seniors may prefer to live in a nursing home over another type of community due to a physical or mental disability that makes it difficult for them to accomplish their lifestyle goals. The most common mental issue effecting nursing home residents is dementia, which can hinder their decision making capacities, and their sense of familiarity with their surroundings, and memory function. Nursing homes are required to provide a professionallly directed program of activities, dietary services, room and bed maintenance services, and routine personal hygiene items to residents.
