There are a variety of nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Pennsylvania that offer various levels of care for seniors. Nursing homes provide 24-hour skilled nursing care and assistance with activities of daily living. Assisted living facilities provide a more independent living environment with some help from staff with activities of daily living, but typically do not provide skilled nursing care.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a nursing home or assisted living facility, such as location, cost, amenities, and care needs. It is important to visit several facilities and ask lots of questions to find the best fit for your loved one.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health oversees all nursing homes and assisted living facilities in the state and has a searchable database of all licensed facilities. This database can help you narrow down your choices based on your specific needs and preferences.
Once you have chosen a few nursing homes or assisted living facilities, schedule a tour to see the facility and meet the staff. Be sure to ask plenty of questions about care services, activities, safety, and any other concerns you may have.
Choosing a nursing home or assisted living facility is a big decision. However, with a little research and time, you can find the perfect place for your loved one to receive the care they need.
