    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted 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 homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. 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. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. 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 residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. 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.
