Frequently Asked Questions

As our loved ones age, become more frail, and need additional support, we’re often faced with the responsibility of exploring care options for them. We hope this FAQ and the resource links provided help answer some of your questions.

Who will be taking care of my loved one?
Our team includes trained, compassionate caregivers who are dedicated to treating residents like family. Each staff member is experienced in senior care and committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment. We also collaborate with healthcare professionals when needed to ensure well-rounded support.
Why should I choose your care home instead of a larger facility?
Unlike large institutions, we offer a smaller, more intimate environment where residents receive hands-on, personalized care. Caregivers know every resident by name and build real relationships based on trust and compassion. This close-knit setting promotes safety, comfort, and a genuine sense of belonging.
What is a senior care home, and how does it work?
A senior care home is a residential setting where older adults receive personalized care, meals, and assistance with daily tasks. It offers a homelike environment with trained caregivers on-site 24/7 to ensure safety and comfort. Our small, family-style home allows us to focus on each resident’s unique needs and provide truly individualized attention.
What type of care can I trust for my loved one?
When exploring care options for a loved one, there are many choices available. However, the decision typically comes down to two main types: assisted living and board and care homes.
What’s the difference between assisted living and board and care?

Assisted living and board and care homes are both licensed as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) under Title 22, Division 6. While they share similar regulations, they differ in what families—and ultimately residents—can expect from the environment and care style. Assisted living facilities are generally large complexes, often housing 20 or more residents. They offer single or shared rooms similar to small apartments, with amenities like restaurant-style dining, large common areas, and sometimes extras like libraries or gyms, similar to a small campus.

Board and care homes, on the other hand, are typically converted single-family homes with six or fewer residents. Rooms are private or shared and feel more like a traditional bedroom in a house, offering a home-like atmosphere in a quiet residential neighborhood, much like living with family.

How do I know what’s right for my loved one?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, as every resident and family has unique needs and preferences. However, some general guidance can help in making the decision.

Assisted living is best suited for individuals who enjoy large social environments and communal living.

Board and care homes are ideal for those who value a quiet, intimate setting that feels like a family home.
