Nursing and Residential Care Facilities
These types of facilities provide nursing, rehabilitation, and health-related personal care to people who need ongoing care. There are 76,000 facilities nationwide. Nursing aides provide the majority of care. Residential care facilities provide around-the-clock social and personal care to the elderly, children, and others who cannot take care of themselves. Examples of residential care facilities are drug rehabilitation centers, group homes, and assisted-living facilities (BLS, 2016d).
