Residential Care Homes

What Is a Residential Care Home?

Residential care homes—also known as board and care homes, personal care homes, or group homes—are private residences in neighborhood settings that have been adapted to care for a small number of seniors, typically 6 or fewer.

These homes offer a smaller personalized living environment as an alternative to the larger assisted living communities, with a much higher caregiver-to-resident ratio, allowing for personalized attention for higher care needs residents in a homelike living experience.

Need full-scale assisted living and can’t live independently

Need 24/7 supervision, personal care, and oversight in a smaller setting

Have moderate-to-severe memory loss
