What it is

A single-family house licensed by the state as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, usually with two to six residents. Care is hands-on and the setting is a home, not a campus.

Who it is for

People who need daily help and do better with familiar faces and a quiet household than with a large building. If you want a full activity calendar and on-site clinics, look at assisted living instead.
