Tribal Nursing Home

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities provide LTSS to elders and people with disabilities who have too many LTSS needs to receive care at home. Tribally run nursing homes offer these services in culturally appropriate settings.

 

Overview of tribal nursing homes in Indian Country

Staying connected to communities, families, and cultures supports quality of life for tribal elders. Tribally run nursing homes and assisted living facilities can provide long-term care for people who need support all day but want to remain close to their homes and communities.
