Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a rental basis, like an apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a condominium. 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. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. 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.
