Board and care homes, also known as residential care homes or group homes, are residential facilities that provide housing, support, and care services for individuals who may not be able to live independently due to physical or cognitive limitations. These homes offer a more intimate and home-like setting compared to larger assisted living communities or nursing homes.
Assisted living is a type of residential care designed for individuals who require assistance with their daily activities but still want to maintain a level of independence. It is a popular option for older adults or individuals with disabilities who may not need the intensive medical care provided in a nursing home but require some support with daily tasks. The primary focus of assisted living is to assist individuals with activities of daily living (ADLs). ADLs include tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, medication management, and meal preparation. Trained staff members are available around the clock to provide assistance and ensure the well-being and safety of residents.
