A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well.
