Beehive Homes - Chappelow I Retirement Homes

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. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms.
