    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. A nursing home may be a good choice if you need a higher level of care temporarily after a hospitalization, but it’s anticipated you will be able to return to home or another facility after a period of time. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. 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. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you need more personal care services than are feasible at home or in an independent living retirement community. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. 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. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living.
