LONG TERM CARE ALTERNATIVES

1. ACTIVE SENIOR COMMUNITIES: Many areas offer active senior communities for adults 55+, pro- viding independent living with social interaction and amenities like exercise facilities, pools, meals, and organized events. 2. ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENCES: Assisted living residences provides non-medical support for independent seniors who may need some help with daily life, offering private living spaces and communal dining and activities. 3. RESIDENTIAL CARE HOMES: A smaller form of living, these homes are often in residential neighborhoods with room for 20 or fewer older adults. They are typically similar in cost to assisted living residences and are well suited for individuals who wish to live in a smaller facility. 4. NURSING HOMES: Nursing homes offer 24- hour care, including nursing, meals and personal assistance. They primarily serve individuals with long-term physical or mental health needs, housing residents in private or shared rooms.

5. MEMORY CARE FACILITIES: Memory care is usually offered by assisted living facilities and nursing homes for older adults diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease who can no longer live on their own. 6. CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES (CCRCS): Continuing care retirement commu- nities combine different levels of care on one campus offering the advantage of staying in one place as a senior grows older. 7. VETERANS CARE: Veterans receive a range of benefits for long-term care. They may stay at regular nursing homes on contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs or at homes operated by the VA, using certain funds to pay for assisted living and home care.
