Frequently asked questions about assisted living
Surveys show that the vast majority of older adults want to age in place. But, health or other care needs may make this option impractical or unsafe. Fortunately, there’s an alternative: residential care homes. A care home is a home-away-from-home that still looks and feels like home, rather than an institutional setting. Across the country, they are called by various names, including residential care homes, residential care facilities for the elderly (rcfe), adult family homes, board-and-care homes, and personal care homes. But they all provide a needed service: care for seniors in a home-like setting. In this guide, we’ll explain residential care homes in more depth to help you decide if this type of senior living is right for you or your loved one.
