Nursing Homes A nursing home is a residence that provides room, meals, skilled nursing and rehabilitative care, medical services, and protective supervision. It also provides residents with help with daily living and recreational activities. Many nursing home residents have physical, emotional, or mental impairments, which keep them from living independently. Nursing homes are certified by State and Federal government agencies to provide levels of care which range from custodial care to skilled nursing care that can only be delivered by trained professionals.
