What's the Difference Between a Nursing home and Room & Board homes?

People often ask me, "What's the difference between a nursing home and a Rood and board home? Board and care homes (or room and board homes) are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10.

These homes offer usually less than what a nursing home provides. This means board and care homes can help with daily routines, but typically don’t provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.

Caregivers at Detroit Care room and board prepare two home-cooked meals a day for residents and help with activities such as:

• Laundry

• Transportation (Dr. Appt only)

• Grooming and hygiene

• Medication management
