Medical and personal care is typically provided in which type of facility?

• A. Types of care facilities
• B. Nursing homes
• C. Assisted living
• D. Skilled nursing facilities

Answer: (B)

Providing medical and personal care around the clock happens in nursing homes. These facilities have licensed nurses and aides who monitor health, manage medications, and assist with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and mobility, along with rehabilitation services such as physical or occupational therapy as needed. While assisted living communities offer help with daily tasks, they usually don’t provide the same level of 24/7 medical supervision. Skilled nursing facilities do provide skilled medical care, but the common setting described for both medical and personal care in one place is nursing homes.
