Nursing Homes
provide 24-hour skilled nursing. Some residents will return home after a short rehabilitative stay, following hospitalization for an illness or accident. Others may require care for an extended period, due to the chronic nature of their illness or disabilities. Some facilities offer specialized programs for residents suffering from advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease.
Facilities vary from hospital-like settings to more home-like residences. Strict safety regulations are adhered to within these facilities to accommodate the physical and mental disabilities of their residents.
Many pay for the care out of their own private funds or have assistance from long-term care insurance policies. Still others may receive financial help from state Medicaid programs, when their finances are depleted. The federal Medicare program will cover limited rehabilitative services for a specified period of time when deemed beneficial to an individual's care.
All Georgia nursing homes are inspected at least once a year by state and federal survey teams. To view the results, visit Medicare's Nursing Home Compare.
