Homes On The Range

Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. 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. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. 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. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day.

A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens.
