If I can't take care of myself, is a nursing home the only option I have?

Although, it’s a better choice for some, nursing homes are not the only type of senior care that can suit someone who needs assistance with day-to-day life. Independent living and assisted living communities provide the flexibility and security of receiving care when needed, while nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities are more for those who need daily assistance or monitoring. Continuing care retirement communities contain all of the various levels of senior care, although they are generally the most expensive option.
