Board and Care Facilities
Board and care facilities are residential homes or small facilities that provide long-term care for elderly adults, individuals with disabilities, or those who require assistance with daily living activities. These facilities typically offer a homelike environment where residents live in private or semi-private rooms and share common areas such as living rooms, dining areas, and outdoor spaces.
Board and care facilities typically provide a range of services, including meals, assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and medication management, as well as housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and social activities. Some board and care facilities may also offer limited medical services or have arrangements with healthcare providers to provide medical care as needed.
Board and care facilities are typically smaller and more intimate than nursing homes or assisted living facilities. They are regulated by state and local agencies and vary in terms of size, services offered, and cost. Private individuals or families often run them.
The goal of board and care facilities is to provide a safe and supportive environment where residents can receive personalized care and attention while maintaining their independence and dignity.
