What is a Residential Care Home?
A Smaller, More Personal Approach to Senior Care
Residential Care Homes—sometimes called Adult Care Homes or Board and Care Homes—are licensed homes located within residential neighborhoods that provide care and supervision for seniors.
Unlike larger senior living communities, Residential Care Homes typically serve a small number of residents, creating a more intimate environment with a higher level of personal attention.
These homes can be an excellent option for seniors who need assistance with daily activities but prefer a quieter, home-like setting.
