About residential nursing care activities

NACE code 87.1 covers residential nursing care activities, which play a vital role in providing essential healthcare services to individuals who require continuous nursing supervision and care. This industry is a crucial component of the broader healthcare sector, catering to the needs of the elderly, those with chronic illnesses, or individuals with disabilities who are unable to live independently. The residential nursing care industry contributes significantly to the well-being of vulnerable populations and supports the overall healthcare infrastructure within the economy.

Production process

Residential nursing care facilities employ a range of techniques to provide comprehensive care to their residents. This includes the administration of medication, assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and feeding, as well as the monitoring of residents' health conditions. Nursing staff work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as physicians and therapists, to develop and implement personalized care plans for each resident. The facilities also maintain a safe and comfortable living environment, with specialized equipment and amenities to meet the unique needs of their residents.

Production inputs

The residential nursing care industry relies on a variety of inputs to deliver its services. This includes skilled nursing staff, such as registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing assistants, who provide direct care to residents. Additionally, the industry requires medical equipment, such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, and monitoring devices, as well as a range of consumable supplies like medications, bandages, and personal care items. The facilities also need to maintain a suitable physical infrastructure, including buildings, utilities, and support services, to accommodate their residents.

Production outputs

The primary output of the residential nursing care industry is the provision of comprehensive nursing and healthcare services to individuals who require continuous care and supervision. The residents of these facilities often have complex medical needs and require around-the-clock attention. The services provided by residential nursing care facilities can help to improve the quality of life for their residents and support their overall health and well-being. The output of this industry is consumed by 86.1 Human health activities, as the residents of nursing care facilities are often referred to or transferred from other healthcare providers.
