Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. 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. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. Senior Living - info and advice for older adults. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. Senior Housing - find independent and assisted living facilities, nursing homes, retirement communities, and other elderly care. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living.
