Board and Care Home FAQs
What is a board and care home?
Board and care homes, also called residential care homes or adult family homes, are licensed care facilities located in residential neighborhoods. They typically serve 4-6 residents and provide 24-hour non-medical care including meals, personal care assistance, medication management, and supervision in a home-like setting.
How is board and care different from assisted living?
Board and care homes are smaller (typically 6 or fewer residents) and located in residential homes rather than purpose-built facilities. They offer more intimate, personalized care with higher staff-to-resident ratios. Assisted living communities are larger, offer more amenities and activities, but may feel more institutional.
What level of care do board and care homes provide?
Board and care homes provide custodial care including help with daily activities, medication reminders, meal preparation, housekeeping, and 24-hour supervision. They do not provide skilled nursing care. Some specialize in dementia care or other specific needs.
How much do board and care homes cost?
Board and care homes are often more affordable than larger assisted living communities, typically ranging from $3,000 to $6,000 per month depending on location and care level. This usually includes room, board, and personal care services.
Are board and care homes licensed and regulated?
Yes, board and care homes must be licensed by the state and meet specific requirements for staffing, training, safety, and care. They are subject to regular inspections. We only work with properly licensed, reputable care homes.
Can board and care homes accommodate couples?
Many board and care homes can accommodate couples, though availability varies. The intimate setting can be ideal for couples who want to stay together while receiving different levels of care.
