Care homes are small, residential communities for seniors who need some assistance with their day-to-day tasks. “RCFEs” typically provide a similar care level to assisted living facilities but the communities themselves can be smaller and more intimate; often housing ten or fewer residents as opposed to dozens in larger ones like those found at your local retirement community (or even hundreds).
This lack of size may appeal especially well if your aging loved one needs more 1-on-1 assistance or care. Residents receive more personalized attention from staff members due to the small nature of these homes.
Personal Attention:
Care homes are the perfect place for seniors who want personalized care. Though they’re smaller than assisted living facilities, residents get more one-on-one attention which can be vital in times of need or recovery from illness. This is less likely to happen in larger communities with higher ratios of staff per resident.
Independence:
The independence offered by care homes is an attractive feature that sets these facilities apart from assisted living. Caregiver one-on-one attention, frequent medication refills, and skilled nursing are just some of the benefits to be found in a home environment for older adults with disabilities or chronic illnesses. Residents also enjoy less activity programming because they have more freedom over when they do their own thing instead of being stuck inside all day long. Residents can enjoy the yard, gazebo, porch areas, and more, just like “at home”.
Family involvement:
As a result of the smaller staff size and number of residents, family members will have more direct access to their loved one’s home director or manager. They can provide peace of mind for both parties involved by staying engaged in care decisions that affect them most deeply!
Location:
Some people prefer to live in residential neighborhoods, and seniors who have lived there their whole lives may be able to do so. Care homes are typically converted single-family residences which tend not only to provide a safe place for residents but also offer the tranquility that comes from being surrounded by nature or having easy access outdoors on your property where you can spend time gardening if it’s something you enjoy doing.
Safety and Security:
Many residential care homes are outfitted with emergency alert systems and/or provide personal emergency response devices for all residents. Having these extra measures in place can help seniors stay much safer compared to living on their own.
