Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes.
