There are many different names for these type of homes, but the short answer is that a boutique style residential assisted living home is a smaller home, typically 10-15 residents, that offers the same key amenities and care of the larger, institutional assisted living facilities. Depending on where you are in the United States, you may hear these types of homes referred to as residential assisted living (RAL) homes, personal care homes, homes for the aged, boutique senior living or many other similar names. 

Robin’s Nest residential assisted living homes offer a unique model with almost all the amenities and care you would expect at a larger facility, but instead offer it in smaller residential homes that have been renovated or built specifically to accommodate the needs of the seniors we serve. We go to great lengths to make sure the home actually feels like a home, not an institution. That means higher end finishes, family style dining tables, comfy couches, cozy bedrooms, and personal touches. It also means that our homes have ramps to navigate a few steps, grab bars to provide safety in the bathrooms, wide hallways and doorways to allow room for walkers and wheelchairs and so many other small details for seniors. 

 These boutique style residential assisted living home models go beyond what the house looks like. Above all, we pride ourselves on the care we are able to offer to your parent or loved one. Instead of being in a large facility where the resident to caregiver ratio may be high, we are able to keep that ratio to around 4-5 residents for every caregiver. Compare that to 25-35 residents to 1 caregiver at some facilities and you’ll quickly see why we are able to take such good care of our residents. It also means that we get to know them like family and can better cater to their needs and preferences. 

When we talk about care, you may hear a lot about activities of daily living. Those activities are bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, and eating. Robin’s Nest Homes expert caregivers make sure that each of our residents have all the help they need with these activities. We also go beyond just helping them. We make sure to take the stress out of daily living so they can do the things that make them happy. When your loved one lives in one of our homes all the cooking, cleaning, laundry and entertainment are provided for them so they don’t have to think about it. 

Last, and certainly not least, the smaller senior housing model emphasizes safety in a way that few other options can match. Our homes are monitored 24/7 by fire alarm and camera systems, protected by fire sprinklers, and designed to allow residents to never worry about their safety. The small size of our communities also allows us to implement protections quickly and effectively.

We believe in the quality of life that can be provided for our residents through this model and hope you can see it for yourself. Our mission statement of Robin’s Nest Homes is to provide safe caregiving homes for seniors in a loving family atmosphere and we are passionate about making that happen.
