An RCFE is typically a home like yours or mine that has been converted to a care home and is licensed by the state to take care of seniors. Most RCFE's are set –up to provide care to 6 seniors; however they can be smaller or larger in size.
RCFE homes were the first widely recognized form of assisted living, and as such, they provide similar care but typically not as much social interaction.
Residents of a RCFE Home have a private or shared room and may have private or shared bathrooms. The rooms usually do not include a kitchen, since providing meals is a major function of the home. RCFE homes generally have some common areas for socializing which include a dining area and one or more other rooms that are mainly for informal contact.
Some but not all of the key Characteristics of RCFE home are;
1 Activities of Daily Living (dressing, personal care, bathing, incontinence care)
2 Meals served (usually communal style)
3 24-hour supervision (around the clock staff but not necessary Awake staff)
4 Community Services (laundry, cleaning, etc.)
5 Health Services (medications management and dispensing, diabetes care)
6 Overall Health (physical, emotional)
As with any type of senior community understanding what community is right for your loved one can be a daunting task. For over a decade Always Best Care has been helping our seniors through this process. Let Always Best Care guide you through the health care maze. Our Care Coordinators are local and have personally viewed most RCFE homes in your area.
