Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. 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. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. 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 nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home.
