An elderly client wants to move into a congregate housing facility. What information should the nurse provide regarding congregate housing?
A) Personnel from the facility will check on each client daily.
B) Clients at this facility are supervised in all activities.
C) Clients spend only part of their day in this facility.
D) Only clients with disabilities can use this facility.
A
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that the personnel from the facility check on each client daily. Clients in congregate housing may have no supervision or only minimal supervision and are not supervised in all their activities. A medical daycare program, not congregate housing, is a program in which the client spends only part of the day at the facility. Congregate housing facilities are available for older adults as well as individuals with disabilities.
