Expanded Adult Residential Care Homes

What is an Expanded Adult Residential Care Home?

Expanded adult residential care homes are similar to ARCH homes, but are for older adults who require a higher level of care. These homes can provide 24-hour assistance with activities of daily living (e.g., bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and walking), and provide additional health-related services as needed. Expanded adult residential care homes are committed to creating opportunities for seniors to lead meaningful lives, while at the same time offering the peace of mind that comes from knowing assistance is always available. Expanded adult residential care homes develop assessments of residents' needs and develop a schedule of activities. Like ARCHs, these facilities are usually smaller and have a residential atmosphere.

Each expanded adult residential care home is different, offering different services and/or specializations. Contact CareSift with questions about Expanded Adult Residential Care Homes, and whether one is the right fit for your situation.

Daily life

To accommodate and bolster the morale of residents, varied activities are offered specifically for a senior's daily success. Activities are often tailored and geared toward each individual's needs and abilities. This includes promoting maximum independence for each resident by eliminating daily demands.

Much activity is centered on basic domestic routines, providing an environment of familiarity and accomplishment.
