I have just started the search for housing options for my loved one. Where do I start? How do I know which options to look for?
Housing Options can vary widely in services, amenities, and levels of care offered, and geographical location. Some states may not have Adult Care Homes, for example. Below are brief descriptions of each level of care.
Assisted Living
Assisted Living Facilities offer private apartment style living for those who may need assistance with daily living activities, supervision, health-related services, and social activities.
Adult Care Homes
An Adult Care Home is a single family residence that offers a home-like setting for seniors needing care. Adult Care Homes are very family oriented and care for five or six residents at a time.
Skilled Nursing Facilities
Skilled Nursing Facilities offer the highest level of care (Custodial Care) for those who may be dependent on others for their health care needs. In addition, many of these facilities offer Rehabilitation (Skilled) Services to those needing short-term care after a severe illness or injury.
Retirement Facilities
Independent/ Retirement Living Facilities are for those 55 and better who require no assistance with Activities of Daily Living or personal care services. Transportation, Meals, and Activities are usually offered. These communities are generally not licensed.
Memory Care
Alzheimer's/ Dementia Care offers a specialized level of care for those who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or a Dementia related illness. These facilities are typically secured (locked) and have specially trained staff to work with the unique needs of their residents.
Residential Care
Residential Care Facilities can be similar to Assisted Living Facilities. Generally, the difference is in the structure and design of the building. You will find both shared and private rooms, as well as shared and private bathrooms in Residential Care. Memory care facilities may also be licensed as Residential Care.
