Bethel Church Share A Home

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. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you need more personal care services than are feasible at home or in an independent living retirement community. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens.
