Oftentimes tucked away in a residential communities, “residential care homes” provide long-term, in-home care to small groups of seniors who require moderate assistance with activities of daily living, but less care than skilled nursing facilities (aka nursing homes). The biggest difference is more personalized care and staff attention because there are few residents.

When you or a loved one no longer feels safe living at home alone, there are several senior living and care options for you to consider. One popular choices for seniors, who don’t have the extensive medical needs that a skilled nursing home can provide, is to explore a residential care home. Oftentimes finding a local residential care facility that is perfect for your loved one can be challenging, which makes working with a local senior advisor a very good option.
