Care Settings

Care settings are the different places where people receive healthcare services. These include hospitals, where advanced treatment occurs; nursing homes for long-term, round-the-clock care; outpatient clinics for routine check-ups and minor procedures; home health services for care delivered at one’s residence; and assisted living communities that support daily living for seniors. Each setting is designed to meet specific health needs and provide appropriate levels of support, ensuring individuals get the right care in a suitable environment.
