Residencia geriátrica. Explanation: Así lo entiendo yo: un lugar donde no sólo viven los ancianos, sino que reciben cuidado médico. "Full care" obviamente no es terapia intensiva, que sería intensive care. Lo interpreto en el sentido de que quienes trabajan allí deben ser por lo menos enfermeros recibidos, para poder atender cualquier emergencia. Sorry, pero no tengo la palabra precisa. Tenía un diccionario de términos médicos, pero como no lo usaba se lo regalé a mi hija que está estudiando Medicina en Córdoba. Voy a tener que comprar uno, porque me estoy perdiendo muchos Kudoz... |

peer agreement (net): +2see note Explanation: Andrea, I’m afraid I can’t give you a translation, but I can at least give you the definitions of what they are, which may help you come up with something. Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) offer an attractive living alternative for retirement age individuals and couples. Also known as continuing care facilities and life-care communities, these communities differ from other retirement options by providing housing and health-related services either for life or for a period in excess of one year. “Continuing Care” is defined by North Carolina General Statutes as, “...the furnishing to an individual other than an individual by blood, marriage, or adoption to the person furnishing the care, of lodging together with nursing services, medical services, or other health related services pursuant to an agreement effective for the life of the individual or for a period in excess of one year.” Generally, prospective residents must be capable of independent living when they enter the community. The typical CCRC provides independent accommodations that may include full or efficiency apartments, villas, or cluster homes as well as community dining, social and recreational areas, and a wide range of services including meals, housekeeping, transportation, and health-related services. In North Carolina, CCRCs offer either nursing home or adult care homes level of care, and may provide both. Depending on the individual community, these accommodations, activities, and services may be paid for in a monthly fee or purchased as needed. Usually a substantial entrance fee is charged in addition to monthly fees. Entrance fees can be non-refundable, partially refundable, or fully refundable. The majority of CCRCs are private pay, although a few have some subsidized units. (http://www.dhhs.state.nc.us/aging/ccretir.htm) Full care: seems to be the next step up after independent living and assisted living. From what I can gather, it’s almost like being in a hospital without being in an actual hospital, rather a nursing home or “residencia.” See the following: Around nine years ago, my brother was in an accident. He suffered extensive brain damage. He was comatose for four months. When he finally came out of it, we found that he could neither speak understandably nor move his limbs. He was also suffering substantial mental impairment. He was in therapy for two years, but he was never able to regain even half of his former mobility, his speech remained garbled, and he was unable to take care of himself because he lacked the ability to figure out how to cook his own food, to groom himself, or even when it was time to use the bathroom. He’s presently living in a full-care nursing home. (http://www.fxthewebsite.com/sacrifices31-35.html) She developed intermittent renal failure, which was successfully reversed. She was in the hospital for extended periods of time and ultimately required full-care nursing home facilities. (http://www.pypfirm.com/articles/siegel_v_alderwood/) For what it’s worth. Good luck! :-) as noted |
