Living Residents of assisted living facilities or nursing homes do require some senior services, both in medical and living assistance, as well as recreation. In assisted living centers, these services involve daily assistance, such as in bathing, dressing, grooming, housekeeping and laundry, meals, transportation and group activities. Board and care facilities also provide housekeeping and meals, while continuing care communities provide more individual attention for a long period of time. Independent living communities have senior services that are usually limited to recreation and emergency assistance. Nursing homes and Alzheimer’s facilities have special senior services, which cater to dependent and disabled residents. Nursing homes have twenty-four hour care in daily living, as well as registered nurses on hand for assistance with medical problems. In addition to housekeeping, grooming and bathing and meals, nursing homes can also provide assistance with medication, transportation and special rehabilitative programs. Alzheimer’s facilities are like nursing homes or assisted living centers but provide special treatment for residents suffering from Dementia symptoms. Some companies offer Free referral service and placement in senior housing.
