Residential Care Homes

Residential care homes are state licensed group living arrangements designed to meet the needs of people who can not live independently and usually do not require the type of care provided in a nursing home. When needed, help is provided with daily activities such as eating, walking, toileting, bathing, and dressing. Residential care homes may provide nursing home level of care to residents under certain conditions.  Daily rates at residential care homes are usually less than rates at nursing homes.

Residential care homes are divided into two groups, depending upon the level of care they provide.  Level III homes provide nursing overview, but not full-time nursing care.  Level IV homes do not provide nursing overview or nursing care.

There are Level III homes that are also designated as Enhanced Residential Care (ERC) providers which is a program that allows the residential care home to have a designated  number of beds that are occupied by residents that need a higher level of care.
