Adult family/group homes

My dad is in a residential care home (RCF here), many people call them group homes. It is a home in a residential neighborhood converted to a memory care facility. It only houses 8 residents with two caregivers during the day and one at night. There is a nurse on staff. The meals are home cooked by the staff. Bed and chair alarms are allowed. It is a beautiful home with dining room, family room, real kitchen, etc., not a facility setting. For us it has been a lifesaver as my dad receives as close to individualized care as you can get. Only in-home care would be better IMO. My dad is doted on and spoiled rotten by his caregivers. There is no nickel and diming, everything he needs is included in the price and if he needs something, they get it for him. It is absolutely wonderful in every way.

I learned about RCF from a senior living advisor I worked with when it was time to find LTC for my dad. The monthly cost is about the same as the high quality MC in the area but with a much lower resident-to-caregiver ratio (as well as providing much more included in the price). The quality of his caregivers is unsurpassed but of course I can only speak to this home in particular.
