    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

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. There is a wide range of home care services that can help you maintain your independence within the comfort of your own home, from in home help to day care. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. 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. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living.
