AB  - As  adults  age,  they  often  require  more  assistance  with  physical  and  cognitive  tasks.  As  mentioned  in  Chapter  18,  “The  Social  Context  of  Older  Adults,”  long-term  services  and  supports  encompass  services  that  provide  assistance  (at  home  or  other  settings)  such  as  caregivers,  adult  day  services,  home  health  nursing  or  therapy,  or  hospice.  With  functional  decline,  some  older  adults  may  decide  to  remain  at  home  with  this  added  support  while  others  may  choose  to  live  long  term  in  another  setting  with  additional  assistance,  such  as  assisted  living  facilities  or  residential  care  homes.  Residential  care  facilities  continue  to  expand  in  popularity.  As  of  2014,  there  were  30,200  assisted  living  and  residential  care  facilities  in  the  United  States  housing  835,200  individuals,  as  compared  with  15,600  nursing  homes  housing  1.4  million  individuals  (Figure  31–1).  This  chapter  focuses  on  residential  care  and  assisted  living  facilities.  It  describes  their  services,  financing,  medical  care,  and  other  considerations  for  individuals  and  families  when  selecting  a  long-term  residential  facility.
