Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes.
