    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. Senior Living - info and advice for older adults. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors.
