Residential care homes are licensed to accept a maximum of ten residents at a time. These types of senior care communities provide a familiar home-like atmosphere and a high level of personal and direct care services. In fact, residents may share the home with the operator’s family and have the opportunity to interact with multiple generations on a regular basis. All of the residential care homes in our network must be licensed and in good standing by the Arizona Department of Health Services. This ensures that we only recommend high-quality communities and steer the families we serve away from low-quality or non-accountable options.
Often, because of the severity of an illness, or a decline in functioning, seniors cannot be placed in assisted living communities nor remain in their homes because their condition requires consistent personal or hands-on care and diligent attention. This could include a need for assistance with mobility issues, incontinence, or advanced medical conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. In these circumstances, transitioning to a senior residential care home can be an appropriate option. Residential care homes can also be a suitable alternative for seniors who are hesitant to move into a larger facility and would appreciate the intimate setting.
