Lillie Maes Retire Village

A nursing home may be a good choice if you need a higher level of care temporarily after a hospitalization, but it’s anticipated you will be able to return to home or another facility after a period of time. Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. 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. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given.
