Assisted living homes, or Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs), are larger communities that typically accommodate 50-100+ residents. These facilities offer essential services like meals, activities, and transportation to medical appointments. Residents can receive assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and managing medications. Some homes also support individuals with mobility challenges or incontinence. Rooms generally come with private bathrooms but exclude stoves. Monthly costs typically range from $2,500 to $5,000, with additional charges based on care needs.
Residential Board and Care Homes are smaller, family-style homes that house 4-6 residents, usually located in residential neighborhoods. These homes provide personalized custodial care, meals, and activities, making them a great option for those with advanced dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or high physical care needs. With a lower staff-to-resident ratio, these homes offer more individualized attention and care. While they are not designed for skilled nursing care, they can accommodate bedridden residents with special exemptions. Monthly costs range from $3,000 to $7,000, depending on room type and care level.
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) are larger, hospital-like environments that provide 24-hour skilled care from licensed professionals, including nurses and nursing assistants. These facilities are designed for residents who require intensive medical care, such as being bedridden or needing complex treatments like IV therapy, feeding tubes, or wound care. SNFs also provide rehabilitation services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, often covered by Medicare. Costs range from $150 to $300 per day, depending on the room type and level of care, with additional fees for medications and personal services.
Continuing Care Communities (CCRCs) are expansive campuses that offer a range of care options, from independent living to skilled nursing, all in one location. These communities are ideal for those who want to remain in the same place as their care needs evolve over time. Some require a large entry fee, while others charge on a month-to-month basis. Continuing Care Communities provide a variety of amenities and services, supporting residents as they transition through different levels of care. These communities offer peace of mind for those seeking long-term care solutions.
