Steele Creek Manor Retirement

You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a rental basis, like an apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a condominium. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home. You have a close network of nearby family, friends, and neighbors. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness.
