Caring Touch

Senior Housing - find independent and assisted living facilities, nursing homes, retirement communities, and other elderly care. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person.
