Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. 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. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. Senior Living - info and advice for older adults. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. 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. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. 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. 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. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care.
