Eau Claire County Assisted Living Facility And Nursing Home Options Assisted Living Facilities **Monthly rates for assisted living & nursing home facilities are current as printing, but are subject to change
Adult Family Home (AFH) A place where 3 or 4 adults who are not related to the operator reside and receive care, treatment or services that are above the level of room and board and may include up to 7 hours per week of nursing care per resident.
Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRF’s) are staffed group living arrangements that provide room, board, supervision and other supportive services to 5 or more unrelated adult residents. Typically, residents have either a private or shared sleeping room and bathroom, and share living and dining space with other residents of the facility. CBRF’s are intended for people who cannot live independently, but are neither acutely ill nor need extensive amounts of nursing care. Up to 3 hours of nursing care per week may be provided. Facilities vary in size from 5 residents to over 100.
Community Based Residential Facility Memory Care Memory care facilities specialize in caring for persons with various dementias, most commonly Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or vascular dementia. The type of care provided in a Memory Care unit is the same type of care provided to the general population of an assisted living community, but on a much more intense level. Caregivers are also more familiar with the behaviors associated with memory impairments and interact positively to achieve desired goals.
Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC) An RCAC is a place where five or more adults reside. Apartments must each have a lockable entrance and exit; a kitchen, including a stove (ore microwave oven); and individual bathroom, sleeping and living areas. This living option also provides not more than 28 hours per week of supportive services, personal assistance and nursing services. Care staff is on site at all times.
