What is Residential Care?

Residential care homes provide residential accommodations, food services, personal care assistance and supportive assistance to its residents. Residents are ambulatory* and do not routinely require skilled nursing care or intermediate care. Areas of care include assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, housekeeping, meals prepared and served, and storage, distribution and administration of medications.

*Ambulatory means any resident who is capable of self-movement, including in and out of wheelchairs. (A one-person assist is allowable.)
