Benefits of Using a Senior Living Advisor to Find the Right Care Home

There are many care homes out there. Some may already exist within your neighborhood that you might drive by every day without even noticing.  The proper definition of a care home or board and care, is a residential home that consists of 6 residents and 24 hour care giving on site.  Some of the rooms within the care home are shared female or male rooms, and single resident rooms.  Care Homes, are for residents with all levels of care.  At Happy Heart Senior Living Advisors, we usually suggest that when your loved one is in a state where they can no longer live alone or take care of themselves properly, a care home is the right fit for them.  It is a rather intimate environment for them to feel as if they are right at home.

Consider care homes as the Mom and Pa type of residents for assisted living.  Each owner of these homes is different than the other. Some care homes may appear monumental and in a highly desirable area, while others might look like any other residence yet lively with their activities and family engagement.
