Mainstream Geriatric Units
A mainstream geriatric care facility, such as a nursing home, is a type of residential care for clients who may require daily medical and life care that cannot be met at home. Nursing homes are staffed by nursing aides and skilled nurses who are accessible 24 hours a day.
Nursing homes can be structured in various ways. Some are set up like hospitals. These facilities provide medical care and various types of therapy, and often include a nurses station. Other facilities might aim for a more comfortable environment that emulates a home. These facilities are more flexible and may not have a fixed schedule for its residents.
