Housing With Services

Board & Care

Board and care homes are smaller in scale than assisted living facilities. They provide a room, meals, and help with daily activities. Some states will allow some nursing services to be provided, but these homes are not medical facilities. These homes may be unlicensed, and even licensed homes are infrequently monitored by the state.

    This website discusses the differences between board and care homes and assisted living. It also talks about what you can expect from these homes. At the bottom, it provides you a link to a state wide board and care homes search engine.
