A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) is a type of senior living facility in the United States, specifically designed to provide non-medical care to elderly individuals who require assistance with daily living activities but do not need 24-hour skilled nursing care. These facilities are also known as assisted living facilities or board-and-care homes, depending on the state.
Personalized Assistance: Offers help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and mobility.
Residential Setting: Provides a home-like environment, often featuring private or shared rooms, common living areas, and dining facilities.
Social and Recreational Activities: Encourages residents to engage in activities that promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being, such as games, crafts, outings, and exercise programs.
Meals and Housekeeping: Includes the provision of nutritious meals, snacks, laundry, and housekeeping services.
24/7 Supervision and Support: Staff is available around the clock to provide care and address emergencies.
Safety and Security: Facilities often feature safety measures like grab bars, emergency call systems, and secure premises to prevent wandering.
RCFEs are licensed and regulated at the state level (e.g., by the Department of Social Services in California).
They must meet specific standards for resident care, facility safety, and staff qualifications.
Seniors who value independence but require some assistance with daily tasks.
Individuals seeking a supportive, community-based environment with social engagement opportunities.
Residents who want a safe and comfortable alternative to living alone.
An RCFE bridges the gap between independent living and skilled nursing care, offering a balance of independence and support tailored to individual needs.
