HOW TO USE NEW LIFESTYLES TYPES OF SENIOR LIVING AND CARE CCRC Continuing Care Retirement Community. Combines independent living, assisted living and nursing in a single setting. Normally requiring an entry fee, offering a living unit, meals, and health care, up to the nursing level. ASSISTED LIVING AL residents will have individual living units with kitchen capacity, with a door with a lock and a private bathroom. ALs are required to provide supplemental health care services, allowing a resident to "age in place" without having to move to a licensed long-term care facility when their needs increase. Inspected and licensed by PA Dept. of Health. INDEPENDENT LIVING Independent living with amenities such as meals, transpor tation and activities usually included in a monthly fee. PERSONAL CARE HOMES PCH residents live in bedrooms that may be shared by up to 4 people. A person who needs the level of care of a nursing facility is not permitted to reside in a PCH and must transfer when their needs become too great. A PCH may assist residents in obtaining health care services. Personal care homes are not medical facilities. Inspected and licensed by PA Dept. of Public Welfare. AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING HUD 202 Program that offers rental assistance for seniors who meet the requirements of the federal program. APARTMENTS Independent living with age requirements. Meal service, activity programs and services usually aren't included in the monthly rent. Select the color coded section of New LifeStyles containing the appropriate type of community or care option.
