There are various residential care options available, depending on the needs of the individual. People with disabilities, mental health problems, learning difficulties, Alzheimer's disease, dementia or who are frail aged are often cared for at home by paid or [[voluntary caregiver]]s, such as family and friends, with additional support from [[home care]] agencies. However, if [[home care|home-based care]] is not available or not appropriate for the individual, residential care may be required. |

Children may be removed from abusive or unfit homes by government action, or they may be placed in various types of out-of-home care by parents who are unable to care for them or their special needs.

A residential school is a school in which children generally stay 24 hours per day, 7 days per week (often called a [[boarding school]]). There is divided opinion about whether this type of schooling is beneficial for children.

This type of out-of-home care is for [[orphans]], or for children whose parents cannot or will not look after them. Orphaned, abandoned or high risk young people may live in small self-contained units established as home environments, for example within [[Residential Child Care Community|residential child care communities]]. Young people in this care are, if removed from home involuntarily, subject to government departmental evaluations that include progressions within health, education, social presentations, family networks and others. These are referred to as life domains within the charter of Looking after Children (LAC). Recent trends have favored placement of children in foster care rather than residential settings, partially for financial reasons, but a 1998 survey found that a majority of out-of-home children surveyed preferred residential or group homes over foster care.<ref name=":0" /> |

[[Nursing home]]s, also known as rest homes or skilled nursing facilities, are intended for people who need ongoing medical care as well as help with daily activities. Nursing home populations have been decreasing in the United States, despite the increase in the elderly population, because of the increasing availability of other options such as assisted living.<ref>[http://seniorhousingnews.com/2011/08/10/shift-away-from-nursing-care-reveals-challenges/ Senior Housing News, August 10, 2011]</ref> |

People who are addicted to drugs or alcohol may be voluntarily or involuntarily admitted to a [[Drug rehabilitation|residential facility]] for treatment. Prescribed drugs are sometimes used to get people off illegal or addictive drugs, and to prevent the withdrawal symptoms of such drugs. The length of stay may be determined by the patient's needs or by external factors. In many cases the patient's insurance will cover such treatment in private facilities for only a limited period of time, and public rehabilitation facilities often have long waiting lists.<ref>[http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/11/3/137.full.pdf Rogowski, J.A., ''Insurance coverage for drug abuse,'' Health Affairs, Fall 1992]</ref> |
