Who is Long-term Nursing Care Right For?

Comfort, well-being and a fulfilling quality of life. All three of these are so important to us — and this is exactly what we provide at our long-term nursing care communities.

Long-term nursing care is ideal for seniors who:

  • Have mobility or balance challenges, limiting their ability to care for themselves independently
  • Have become more prone to falling frequently, posing safety risks
  • Have a chronic or progressive health condition that has become more complex, with symptoms that have gone beyond what can be cared for at home
  • Live alone or who have no family caregivers available
  • Are in a wheelchair and require expert transferring assistance by specially trained professionals
  • Are recovering from a severe injury, but aren’t expected to return to full independence

Long-term Nursing Care FAQs

Long-term nursing care provides ongoing medical and personal support for individuals who have chronic illnesses, disabilities or cognitive impairments that prevent them from living independently. This care is typically delivered in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) and includes assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), medication management and 24/7 supervision. People often transition to long-term care after a hospital stay, when recovery is incomplete, or when conditions like dementia or mobility loss progress.

Choosing a facility involves evaluating several factors:

  • Level of care: Does the facility offer the care and services required?
  • Environment: Is the setting clean, safe and welcoming? Are there engaging activities and opportunities for socialization?
  • Licensing and ratings: Is the facility certified by Medicare/Medicaid? What are its inspection results? Carespring communities, for example, emphasize personalized care plans, a homelike atmosphere and engaging programs to support a resident’s well-being.

Payment options for long-term nursing care include:

  • Private pay: Using personal savings, pensions or long-term care insurance.
  • Medicaid: For those who meet income and asset requirements.
  • Medicare: Covers only short-term skilled care under specific conditions — not long-term custodial care. Families are encouraged to consult with social services or financial advisors to explore eligibility and plan for future needs.
  • Long-term care insurance: Typically covers a portion of the daily care.
