Residential Care Homes typically provide care for seniors in a home-like setting. The setting is perfect for seniors that do not wish to reside in a bigger community such as Assisted Living, but still require a level of assistance that Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing Homes provide.  A residential Care Home typically provides assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, medication management, incontinence care and special diets.  Some homes may have 24/7 staffing for residents that need more assistance.
