    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

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. Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. There is a wide range of home care services that can help you maintain your independence within the comfort of your own home, from in home help to day care. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. 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. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. 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. 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 retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. 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. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living.
