Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. 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. 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. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Senior Living - info and advice for older adults.
