    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. 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. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. 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. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given.
