Nursing Services

Nursing homes are generally for people who need 24 hour-a-day supervision and care; or who have medical problems requiring nursing attention more than once or twice a day; or who need rehabilitation that cannot be provided at home. In Vermont, there are residential care homes that should be considered before one decides on nursing home placement.
