THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CARE HOME & ASSISTED LIVING
What is assisted Living?
Assisted Living is where you receive long term care, normally, within a supported housing setting. This means that you live within an independent flat, that is looked after by either an Estate Manager or a Housing Manager.
It would require you to move from your home into a smaller accommodation which can be suitable if you are considering downsizing or you have mobility concerns. Home Care can still be performed if you or your loved one lives within a Supported Housing or Assisted Living facility. The Carer’s will still maintain your daily routine and support you or your loved ones in areas that may require addition help.
What is the difference between Home Care and a Care Home?
The duties that care home carers provide and community carers provide are not dissimilar. The biggest and most important distinction is that clients are able to remain within the familiar and comfortable surroundings of their own home. With home care there isn’t the upheaval of having to move from your home, or having to sale your home to fund your care or being restricted to set routines. Home Care fits in around your daily routine and you receive personalised and 121 care at home.
