board and care

Small group home

A board and care is a residential facility providing housing, meals, and basic personal assistance to elderly or disabled residents who need help with daily activities but not skilled nursing care.

These small group homes offer a middle ground between independent living and nursing homes: After her stroke, we found a board and care near the family.

Also called a residential care home.
