Retirement Communities are for active seniors currently in good health and can live independently. Here seniors have access to three daily cooked meals. This allows for more time to enjoy life. Some communities require a one-time entry fee along with monthly service charges.
Adult Family Homes (AFH) are private homes offering home-style living. AFH’s offer room and board, personal care for up to six people. They range from those that offer only room, board, and minimal personal assistance to those that offer full personal care and skilled nursing.
Adult Family homes are inspected, monitored and licensed by the
Senior and Disabled Services Division (SDSD) or by the local Area Agency on Aging.Assisted Living facilities are for people needing assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)- eating, bathing, dressing, laundry, housekeeping, and assistance with medications. Here they can live as independently as possible for as long as possible. Assisted living is not an alternative to a nursing home, but an intermediate level of long-term care appropriate for many seniors.
Assisted Living facilities are inspected, monitored and licensed by SDSD.
Nursing Homes are for loved ones requiring 24-hour nursing care. Here they aid those who cannot perform Activities of Daily Living on his or her own. Possibly in late stages of Alzheimer's (combative), and may need therapeutic or rehabilitative services (speech, occupational, physical, respiration, etc.). They are good for persons who may be afflicted with a long-term or chronic illness.
Nursing Homes are inspected, monitored and licensed by SDSD.
