Find the Right Care LevelDo You Actually Need a Nursing Home?
Many families assume a nursing home is the only option, but most seniors don't need skilled nursing care. If your loved one needs help with daily activities (bathing, meals, medications) but not 24/7 medical monitoring, assisted living is usually the better — and more affordable — choice.
You likely need a nursing home if your loved one requires:
- •24/7 skilled nursing supervision
- •IV therapy or wound care
- •Ventilator or feeding tube management
- •Post-surgical rehabilitation
- •Complex medication regimens requiring RN oversight
- •Constant medical monitoring for unstable conditions
Assisted living may be a better fit if they need:
- •Help with bathing, dressing, and grooming
- •Medication management (not complex IV/injections)
- •Meals prepared and served
- •Social activities and companionship
- •Supervision but not constant medical care
