    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you need more personal care services than are feasible at home or in an independent living retirement community. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at 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. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. 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. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes.
