Do all assisted living homes look the same?
The adage “if you have seen one assisted living facility, you have seen one assisted living facility” sums up the wide variability. There is no one type of model or design. It could be a high-rise building housing several hundred individuals, or it could be a small home with just a few. Living accommodations can include a full size apartment or a single room. In some facilities, services are limited to meal preparation, housekeeping, medication reminders, and minimal assistance. In others, more intensive services, including help with administering medications, on-site nurses, and regular assistance with daily activities such as bathing and dressing are available.
