Those who need care beyond what they can receive at home but not requiring the level of care provided by a nursing home may find that they can receive the help they need in assisted living or other residential care facilities. Some are structured so that individuals have their own apartments and often provide a more homelike atmosphere. At the same time, residents can receive assistance with housekeeping, meals and personal care. They also can receive help with daily activities such as eating, bathing and dressing. Staff is available to assist 24 hours a day. These facilities are licensed differently in different states and may be referred to by other names such as personal care home, adult congregate living facility and home for the aged.
