Board and Care Homes Definition. Board and care homes are special facilities designed to provide those who require assisted living services both living quarters and proper care. Often referred to as residential care homes, these facilities can either be located in a small residential home or a large modern facility. In fact, a large majority of board and care homes are designed to room less than 6 people.
Originally, board and care homes were run by individuals or families who also lived on the premises, and were closely involved with the day to day care of the residents living in the house. Over the years, however, there has been a shift in the kind of ownership as there are now many corporate run facilities that employ caregivers 24/7.
