    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. 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. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. 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.
