Care Homes have become a popular option for many children when they can't provide all the care their parents need and they don’t want to leave their aging parents alone at home.

One can also hire a Home care worker to help your parent in daily activities such as bathing, dressing etc but this option doesn't provide that socialization component that a care home offers to help seniors rejuvenate their college days.

Modern Care Homes are set up to meet the need for small homely environments where service users could feel safe and comfortable whilst leading as active a life as possible.

Elderly Care Homes are intended to promote aging in place in a homelike setting for senior individuals capable of responding to their environment, making their wishes known, interacting with others, and engaging in independent activity. Many individuals who require formal long-term care will also be appropriate for these settings. These facilities assure that their residents receive supportive health and social services as they are needed to enable them to maintain their independence, individuality, privacy, and dignity in an apartment style living unit. The assisted living and comprehensive personal care environments promote resident self-direction and decision making while protecting resident's health and safety.

Care Homes include a variety of programs for elderly people who spend their days in a supervised group setting. Some of these care homes also offer Health Care, which provides nursing services and other health care along with social and recreational activities. Social Day Care programs provide no medical services, but they do offer a range of social activities and support services for the elderly.

Nursing Facilities or Nursing Homes are the most medically intensive of the long-term options for elderly or disabled individuals and like other licensed long-term care settings, are regulated and inspected by the Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Long Term Care Systems Development and Quality. These inspections are intended to safeguard the quality of care provided to residents, and to ensure that each resident enjoys the highest quality of life attainable.

Alternate Family Care Homes provides a home-like environment where participation in the family and community are also encouraged.

Alpha Care Homes provide a culture and an environment where staff feels they belong and feel happy in their jobs and service users feel their contribution is valued in the development of services. Alpha Care Homes are located in the West Midlands and the South East of England. Each home is very individual with the core focus on making the care homes a home from home for service users. There is a structured programme in place to ensure that all homes are well maintained and are staffed by a dedicated team to meet the very individual needs of each person.
