The decision to move to a long term care home is often a tough one for both seniors and families. There may be many questions. What’s it really like? What will the food be like? Will the care meet my unique needs? What will it cost? What types of rooms are available? What about other residents? Can I take a tour? Is there a checklist? We have compiled some information to help you navigate your way through these decisions.
There are a lot of differences between a retirement home and a long term care home. Even though they are both places where seniors can live, the cost, types of services, and the overall process is different.
A retirement home, also called a retirement residence or senior home, is where a community of seniors live. Focused around flexibility and independence, these types of retirement residences offer a lot of choice. Residents can choose to enjoy a fully independent lifestyle or have some care and personalized services.
Often confused with retirement residences, long term care homes or nursing homes are for those who can no longer live independently, whether for physical or cognitive reasons, and need supervised care and support.
