What is a nursing home for seniors?

 

Colloquially, in Mexico, the Residences or Rest Houses for Older Adults are called Nursing Homes. An Asylum, Residence or Rest House for Older Adults is a place for people that require medical surveillance or specific care, which, in some cases, cannot be provided at their home due to some degree of dependency.

 

Among the people who can make use of a Nursing Home are people who require post-surgery care or who present temporary or permanent ailments such as Arthritis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc.

 

Today, paying full-time medical care at home for a sick elderly person costs an average of 22 thousand pesos per month plus indirect expenses, which makes it a difficult expense to pay.

 

That is why the reason why Nursing Homes exist, places where specialized staff can provide the necessary care and attention to a group of Seniors with a significantly lower cost, since, in practical terms, all the guests of a Nursing Home share the cost of care.

​

​

When should I look for a Rest Residence?
