Nursing Home:

A nursing home is considered a higher level of care than an Adult Care Home. Residents living in a nursing home have a higher level of medical needs than cannot be met in an Adult Care Home. Nursing homes provide 24 hour medical care as well as personal and health care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), medication administration, meal preparation, transportation and activities, as well as housekeeping and laundry.
