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. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. 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. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. You have a close network of nearby family, friends, and neighbors. 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. Senior Living - info and advice for older adults. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. 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. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well.
