Nursing Homes

Nursing homes provide inpatient nursing, rehabilitation, and health-related personal care to those who need continuous nursing care, but do not require hospital services.

Nursing aides provide the vast majority of direct care. Other facilities, such as convalescent homes, help patients who need less assistance.

Residential care facilities provide around-the-clock social and personal care to children, the elderly, and others who have limited ability to care for themselves.

Workers care for residents of assisted-living facilities, alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers, group homes, and halfway houses.

Nursing and medical care, however, are not the main functions of establishments providing residential care, as they are in nursing homes.
