    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. 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. 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. Senior Living - info and advice for older adults.
