A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. 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.

A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care.

You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. 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. There is a wide range of home care services that can help you maintain your independence within the comfort of your own home, from in home help to day care. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well.
