A longterm care nurse works in a nursing home, rest home, skilled nursing facility (SNF), or a convalescent home. Most of the patients they will care for are elderly and are there because they can no longer live at home safely. The resident may have ambulation difficulties and need a walker or wheelchair to get around. Many have dementia and are confused.
