Types of Care |
The Iowa Veterans Home has three levels of
care. The Resident is evaluated to determine the level of care
that best fits his/her needs. These types of care are:
- RESIDENTIAL CARE (Domiciliary) is the area
where the Resident cares for his/her own needs with the exception of
meals which are provided in a central dining room. Medical and
nursing supervision are available on regular and frequent, but not
continuous basis.
- NURSING CARE (Nursing Home Care) are those
areas in which the Resident requires ongoing nursing supervision
and/or assistance in one or all areas of physical needs and
activities of daily living. Care in this area ranges from
total assistance in all care needs to supervision of one or two care
needs, depending upon the Resident's capabilities. Medical
care is available on a regular and frequent, but not continuous
basis.
- INFIRMARY CARE (Hospital Type Care) is the
area where the Resident/Patient needs constant medical and nursing
supervision of his/her physical condition(s) and assistance in all
areas of daily living. The Home offers a wide range of
rehabilitation programming based on the individual needs of its
Residents and encourages each to participate.
