Which facility provides intensive help with activities of daily living?

• A. Adult Day Care
• B. Nursing Home
• C. Subacute Rehabilitation Facility
• D. Assisted Living Facility (ALF)

Answer: (B)

Intensive help with activities of daily living requires around-the-clock skilled nursing and personal care. A nursing home provides continuous medical supervision and hands-on assistance with ADLs such as bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, and feeding, making it the setting designed for substantial ongoing support. Adult day care offers daytime supervision but no overnight care; subacute rehabilitation focuses on short-term post-acute rehab; assisted living provides some help but usually not the same level of 24/7 intensive ADL support as a nursing home.
