A nursing home, also known as a skilled nursing facility (SNF) or long-term care facility, is a residential care setting that provides 24-hour skilled nursing care and assistance with activities of daily living for individuals who require long-term or rehabilitative care. Nursing homes offer a range of services, including medical care, assistance with medication management, rehabilitation therapies, social activities, and assistance with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating. These facilities cater to individuals who are unable to live independently due to age, disability, illness, or injury, providing a supportive environment to meet their medical, social, and emotional needs.
