What is a Composite Provider
There are many facilities which provide different levels of care depending on the resident’s needs. There can be a memory care for dementia and Alzheimer’s residents, assisted living, rehabilitative care, or typical long term care usually called a nursing home. The resident is entitled to the information about the level of care and supervision to be provided by each division and where the separation is in the building and the policies and procedures they can expect in each division of care in the composite provider’s facility.
