Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. 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. 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. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. You have a close network of nearby family, friends, and neighbors. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders.
