Also called adult family homes, board and care homes, or adult foster care, residential care homes are best known for their small size and home-like setting. They are often a more cost-effective option and are best for those who may be overwhelmed at a larger community such as assisted living or memory care.
There are two primary home Care options for Seniors living in their home. Seniors in need of help with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning or running errands may consider Homemaker Services. Seniors who need additional help with personal care or assistance with Activities of Daily Living such as bathing, getting dressed or support in the bathroom can recruit Home Health Aid Services where a Home Health Aide who is medically certified visits the older adult in their home to assist with these care tasks. Residential Care is a great option for seniors who are not quite ready to make the transition into Assisted Living or Nursing Home Care.
