Hilltop Manor

You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. 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. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person.
