Residential Assisted Living Homes 101
A Residential Assisted Living Home (RAL), sometimes called a Residential Care Home, is a home licensed by the state to provide non-medical care to seniors in a residential neighborhood.
It typically provides a higher level of care than a traditional large assisted living facility, but a lower level of care than a traditional nursing home setting.
Having fewer residents, a Residential Care Home has higher staff-to-resident ratios and can provide care on a much more personalized level, and at a lower cost point than a large assisted living center.
Depending on your state, a Residential Assisted Living Home can care for 4 to 16 or more residents. Most offer private and semi-private rooms and are predominantly private-pay facilities. Many will accept long-term care insurance and the Veteran's Aid and Attendance program.

Who Provides The Care?
The care in your home is overseen by a licensed or certified Administrator / Manager. That manager would hire a staff of caregivers to perform hands-on care to the resident. Residential care homes provide caregivers around the clock, seven days a week. Depending on the care needs of your residents, Majestic Residences usually hires 1 caregiver to 5 residents. A typical home would have 1 to 2 caregivers during the day and evening and one caregiver overnight.
