A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Housing arrangements for the future can be a stressful, anxiety-provoking topic for you and your family. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. A nursing home is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital.
