Senior Housing - find independent and assisted living facilities, nursing homes, retirement communities, and other elderly care. 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. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. 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 retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents.
