Alternative Housing Options
Age-Restricted Communities Also known as “active adult” or “55+” communities. Community is for older people who are healthy, independent, and interested in the social benefits of living among peers. These communities cater to older adults who have a common preference to not have younger folks around. The focus is on an active lifestyle, so many communities have well- equipped clubhouses and other amenities, such as tennis courts and golf courses. Many age restricted communities don’t allow multigenerational living arrangements.
Assisted Living Homes Provide personal care and support services or help with basic daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Comfortable private, or semi-private, rooms 1-to-3 daily, home cooked meals Housekeeping and laundry service Medication management Social programs and activities Transportation to doctor's appointments
Nursing Home Facilities provide skilled nursing care for older adults who require it. Nursing homes have nurses and doctors on staff. Nursing assistants provide most of the help with basic, daily activities, and nurses direct medical monitoring and intervention when necessary. Speech, occupational, and physical therapists work to keep residents strong
Steps in the Process Visit a number of residences; don’t see just one. When you take a tour, be sure to talk to residents, staff, and visiting family members. Ask staff members how long they’ve worked there; a good sign of quality is low turnover. Check with the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (http://www.carf.org/). Many assisted-living residences, nursing homes, and CCRCs voluntarily apply for accreditation, which means they meet many quality measures. Be sure you get clear information on costs and the details for all financial arrangements. Talk with your loved one about what is important to him or her as you narrow your options.
Group Home Private residence For young children who can’t live with their families. Can also be for adults or seniors with chronic disabilities or with dementia. There is always at least one caregiver in the residence at all times.
