Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. A nursing home may be a good choice if you need a higher level of care temporarily after a hospitalization, but it’s anticipated you will be able to return to home or another facility after a period of time. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. You have a close network of nearby family, friends, and neighbors. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences.
