Nursing Homes
A nursing home or skilled nursing facility (SNF) is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant Activity of Daily Living (ADL) deficiencies. Elderly and younger adults with physical disabilities usually reside in nursing homes. Adults at the age of 18 or older can stay in a skilled nursing facility to receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. In the
U. S., nursing homes are required to have a licensed nurse on duty 24 hours a day, and during at least one shift each day, one of those nurses must be a Registered Nurse.
If you you or a family member needs medical assistance and nursing care, you should consult an experienced and considerate Elder Law attorney, who can give you proper recommendations and provide help with preparing all necessary documents.
