Residential care refers to a type of support service where individuals, often the elderly or those with disabilities, live in a facility that provides assistance with daily activities. These facilities can include nursing homes, assisted living, or group homes, and they offer a range of services such as personal care, meals, and medical support. The goal of residential care is to create a safe and comfortable environment for residents while promoting their independence and well-being. Staff members are trained to help with various needs, ensuring that residents receive the appropriate level of care tailored to their individual circumstances.
