A Board and Care Home, also known as a Residential Care Home or Group Home, provides a more intimate, home-like setting for seniors who need assistance with daily activities. Here are the key features:

1. Residential Setting:
Typically a converted single-family home accommodating a small number of residents, often ranging from 6 to 10.

2. Personal Care Services:
Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management.

3. Meals:
Home-cooked meals and snacks provided, often tailored to residents’ dietary needs.

4. 24/7 Care:
Caregivers available around the clock to assist with residents’ needs and emergencies.

5. Social Environment:
A smaller, more intimate setting promotes close relationships among residents and caregivers.

6. Housekeeping and Laundry:
Regular cleaning and laundry services.

7. Activities:
Personalized activities and social interactions tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.

8. Medical Coordination:
Assistance with coordinating medical appointments and managing health care needs.

9. Safety and Security:
Home modifications for safety, such as grab bars and emergency call systems.

10. Affordability:
Often less expensive than larger assisted living facilities due to the smaller scale and fewer amenities.
