Parkwood Health Care Community

A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person.
