A nursing home is a type of residential care facility that provides medical and personal care services to elderly individuals who require assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) or have medical conditions that require continuous monitoring and treatment.

Nursing homes offer a range of services, including 24-hour nursing care, assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, medication management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and social activities.

Nursing home services are designed to provide residents with a safe and supportive environment where they can receive the care and assistance they need to maintain their health and well-being. The staff of a nursing home typically includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nursing assistants, and other healthcare professionals who work together to provide comprehensive care to residents.

Overall, nursing home services are intended to provide elderly individuals with the support and care they need to maintain their quality of life and independence as much as possible.
