Assisted living emerged in the 1990s as an eldercare alternative on the continuum of care for seniors for whom Independent living is no longer appropriate but who do not need the 24-hour medical care provided by a nursing home. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a rental basis, like an apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a condominium. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily 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.
