A 79-year-old woman who is living independently in her home needs help with ADLs following a hip replacement. Home care is not an option because of the level of care she currently needs
Which of the following facilities would be the best option for care? A) Senior center
B) Assisted living facility
C) Rehabilitative care facility
D) Subacute care facility
C
Feedback:
The rehabilitative care facility provides 24-hour care for a few weeks or months, but the client eventually returns home after recovery from a disabling (e.g., cerebrovascular accident) or traumatic (e.g., hip fracture) experience. Senior centers provide social interaction and opportunities for peer group relationships, but do not provide rehabilitation. An assisted living facility provides room and board, laundry, and some personal assistant services, but not the rehabilitation this client needs. This client needs a focus on rehabilitation, not subacute care.
