Nursing homes provide care for individuals of all ages needing 24 hour nursing care
or assistance. Nursing home residents usually have complex medical and assistance
needs requiring 24 hour care. While many residents remain in the nursing home for
a long period of time, an increasing number of residents are
short stay, receiving nursing care and rehabilitation after a hospital

Individuals or families typically seek nursing home care when it is no longer possible
to care for a person at home safely or when the needs of the individual become so
