Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. 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 may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. 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. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care.
