Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. 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. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. 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. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. 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. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents.
