A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. 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. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. 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. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. 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. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. 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. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted 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. 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. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well.
