Hillcrest Residential Care

A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. 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.
