Many individuals turn to a nursing home when their income and savings cannot cover other long-term care options, when family members can no longer play a major role in caregiving, or when they have 24-hour nursing needs, such as late stage dementia. Most residents receive basic care: help with bathing, toileting, feeding, dressing, medication, skin care, and walking. Basic care also includes observation and assessment of health needs, such as watching for infections and serious illness. Skilled care means the resident needs the daily attention of a licensed health professional such as a registered nurse, practical nurse, or physical therapist under orders from a doctor. Skilled care may include intravenous (IV) feedings or medication, colostomy care, treatment of severe bed sores, physical therapy, or observation and assessment of a changing or unstable condition. Medicaid can pay for both skilled and basic care. Medicare covers only skilled care, and only on a short-term basis, such as for rehab after surgery or injury.See the listing on page 19 for places to reach out to for more information.Special CircumstancesHospice Care %u2013 Hospice is a program of care and support for people who are terminally ill.
