A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Senior Living - info and advice for older adults. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. 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. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. 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. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance.
