A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. 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. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders.
