ADULT RESIDENTIAL CARE HOMES

Adult Residential Care Homes, also known as Rest Homes or Homes for the Aged, are facilities that provide a room, meals and supervision, but no nursing services, for older adults whose limitations prevent them from living alone. The Connecticut Department of Public Health licenses all residential care homes in Connecticut.

SERVICES:

Residents of these facilities do not need the extensive medical care offered in a nursing home. They may require some assistance with daily activities or special diets or supervision of medications. Services vary from facility to facility but may include dietary and housekeeping services, monitoring of prescription medication, social and recreational opportunities, and assistance with activities of daily living. State law requires that residential care homes provide three meals per day, housekeeping and laundry services,recreational activities, 24 hour supervision and emergency services.

FEES:

Residents pay monthly fees that vary by the community and by the type of room that is chosen. Some communities may allow residents to use government assistance to help pay for their care.
