1. Assisted Living Communities
   These facilities provide personal care services, including help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, while allowing residents to maintain a level of independence.
   
   

2. Independent Living Communities
   Designed for seniors who can live independently but want to enjoy the convenience of services like housekeeping, meals, and activities. These communities are often part of larger retirement communities that may offer additional care options.
   
   

3. Board & Care Homes
   Smaller, home-like settings where residents receive personal care services. These are typically located in residential neighborhoods and provide more individualized attention.
   
   

4. Memory Care Communities
   Specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other memory-related conditions. These facilities provide structured environments with enhanced supervision and programs tailored to cognitive needs.
   
   

5. Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) / Nursing Homes
   These facilities provide 24-hour medical care and rehabilitation services for seniors with serious health conditions, or those recovering from surgery or illness, who require more intensive care than assisted living.
   
   

6. Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs)
   These communities offer a range of living options, from independent living to assisted living and skilled nursing care, allowing residents to transition as their care needs change over time.
   
   

7. Respite Care Communities
   Short-term care facilities offering temporary relief to caregivers. These can include stays at assisted living or skilled nursing facilities to give family caregivers a break or to care for seniors recovering from illness or surgery.

Placement options are based on the individual needs of your loved one.
