Senior Housing - Big Box vs The Home

When it comes to senior housing facilities, there are generally two types: Big Box and Residential Assisted Living facilities. Here are some of their main differences. Big box facilities feel like a hotel. They try, but it is hard to get that homey feel in a facility for hundreds of people. Residential assisted living homes are single-family homes converted to house a few seniors. One obvious difference is one is big while the other type of facility is small. This difference plays a big part in the caregiver ratio, which is the number of staff compared to residents. In a small facility an average ratio is 10 residents to 2 caregivers, very reasonable. In a big box facility, the ratio is closer to 20 residents to 1 caregiver. Big box facilities have more people for residents to interact with, while smaller homes offer more freedom. The cost difference is notable as well. Smaller facilities generally charge a reasonable flat rate for residents. Big box facilities charge a monthly rate and bill additional services. Looking outside, small homes are in a residential neighborhood while their bigger counterparts are commercial buildings surrounded by parking lots. One fe els institutional, one is a home.
