Nursing Homes Current Statewide Health

A nursing home is a place for older adults who do not need hospital care but cannot be cared for at home. More than 80,000 Pennsylvanians reside in more than 700 nursing homes throughout the state.

Living at home can be challenging for older adults when they require supervision or assistance to complete daily activities. A nursing home becomes an option when the level of care needed cannot be provided at home.

Nursing homes provide 24-hour, long-term nursing care and short-term options for older adults following surgery or hospital stay.
