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. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. 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. You have a close network of nearby family, friends, and neighbors. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity.
