Livingston Manor

Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. 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. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness.
