The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. 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 nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. Assisted living emerged in the 1990s as an eldercare alternative on the continuum of care for seniors for whom Independent living is no longer appropriate but who do not need the 24-hour medical care provided by a nursing home. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity.
