Nursing home care, also known as skilled nursing care, is the highest level of care available outside of a hospital. Nursing homes offer specialized medical care from registered nurses, physicians, and other certified health professionals around the clock. Occupational or physical therapists are also available. Nursing home care is more expensive than assisted living.
You or a loved one may need a nursing home if your medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home or in another type of facility. Many times, nursing home stays are for long-term care, but if nursing home care is required for rehabilitation and recovery from surgery or another traumatic health event, the stay may be short-term, depending on your prognosis and progress.
In the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, the majority of nursing homes are stand-alone facilities. As nursing home advisors, Premier Residential Placement Service can help you find the right solution for your needs.
