Independent Living - Senior Apartments, 55+ Active Adult Communities, Continuing Care Retirement
Communities (CCRCs).

CCRCs are retirement communities with more than one kind of housing and different levels of care.
Where you live depends on the level of care you need. In the same community, there may be individual
homes or apartments for residents who still live on their own, an assisted living facility for people who
need some help with daily care, and a nursing home for those who require higher levels of care.
Residents move from one level to another based on their needs, but stay within the CCRC.

Assisted Living and Dementia Care - Assisted living is a way to provide care to people who are
having difficulty living independently, but do not need the daily nursing services provided in a nursing
home. Assisted living providers furnish a place to live, meals, and assistance with daily activities,
such as dressing, bathing, eating, and managing medications. People who live in assisted living
facilities generally have less complicated medical problems than people in nursing homes. Assisted
living facilities also tend to
have a less institutional look than nursing homes. However, these facilities
are not as highly regulated by the government as nursing homes.

Long Term Care (Nursing Homes) - Choosing a nursing home is a very important decision. You need
to think about whether a nursing home is the best choice for you. A nursing home provides care to
people who cannot be cared for at home or in the community. For people who can't take care of
themselves due to physical, emotional, or mental problems, nursing homes can provide a wide range of
personal care and health services. For many people, this care generally is custodial, or non-skilled.

Care in a nursing home can be very expensive. Nursing homes usually provide 24-hour medical care as
well as room, meals, activities, and some personal care. Most nursing homes charge a basic fee for
room, meals, and some personal care. You may have to pay extra for other services or care for special
medical needs. It is important to get a list of fees in advance and discuss these costs and how you will
pay for them.
