Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home. 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. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents.
