How much does nursing home typically cost?
Costs vary widely depending on your specific needs and the level of care required. Many families find that when they add up the expenses of home care, utilities, groceries, and home maintenance, nursing home is quite comparable—and often includes many more services and amenities.
What types of activities and programs does Burns Nursing Home provide?
Every month, Burns Nursing Home publishes an activity calendar packed with options: exercise and wellness programs, arts and crafts, entertainment and performances, educational talks, game tournaments, social gatherings, cultural celebrations, and trips into the community. Residents can participate as much or as little as they like.
What amenities and services are typically included?
Standard services usually include weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, utilities and cable, maintenance, dining services, planned activities and outings, transportation, fitness and wellness programs, beauty and barber services, and emergency response systems in each apartment.
What level of care is provided if a resident’s needs increase over time?
As needs change, care plans are reviewed and updated to provide appropriate support. Many communities offer tiered care levels or specialized units for memory care. If needs eventually exceed what nursing home can provide, staff works with families to coordinate transitions to higher levels of care like skilled nursing facilities.
