Residential care facilities, also commonly known as nursing homes, are not necessarily the right type of environment for every nurse. To thrive in a care facility, you’ll need to be able to work as a part of a team to provide the best level of care for the residents.
Each resident has their own unique set of needs, which can range from help with bathing to feeding to treating their specific medical conditions. Since residents call the care facility home, there’s an incredible opportunity to build a long and meaningful relationship with patients. It takes a special kind of nurse to have a successful career in a residential care facility.
