An RCFE, or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, is a licensed facility that provides non-medical care and supervision for individuals typically age 60 and older who need assistance with daily activities but do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care.

RCFEs offer assistance with daily living (like bathing, dressing, and medication management), but do not provide medical treatment or skilled nursing services. Nursing homes, by contrast, are licensed to provide 24-hour medical care by licensed nurses.

We provide non-medical residential care services for seniors who need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, grooming, dressing, medication management, meal preparation, and mobility. We specialize in dementia care, fall prevention, and personalized support in a home-like environment.
