CARE CENTRES<br />
• A care centre (formerly called a nursing<br />
home, auxiliary hospital or long term care<br />
facility) is a health care facility <strong>of</strong>fering a<br />
range <strong>of</strong> residential, personal, and health<br />
services to persons who are elderly, disabled,<br />
or chronically ill.<br />
• Admission to care centres is based on an<br />
assessment <strong>of</strong> health and personal care<br />
needs.<br />
• Care centres can be a short-term living<br />
arrangement focused on rehabilitation, convalescence<br />
and strengthening, after which<br />
the client returns to community living.<br />
• Clients can be admitted to a care centre on a<br />
longer term basis when their physical or<br />
mental abilities no longer permit them to<br />
remain at home even with the support <strong>of</strong><br />
family and community services.<br />
