The US Census estimates 6.5 million older people need assistance with daily living activities.  About 30% of those have substantial long term care needs. Families wrongly believe their only options are continuing to provide in-home care or placing their aging parent in a nursing home. With daily costs in a residential care homes about 2/3’s that of a nursing home, elderly residential care is a senior housing option to consider.
