What are the differences between Assisted Living and Nursing home?
Assisted Living Residences differ from nursing homes in that they don’t offer complex medical services. An Assisted Living Facility may be a good choice if you need more personal care services than you can get at home or an independent living retirement community, but you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home. Unlike nursing homes and other medical facilities, assisted living facilities allow elders to maintain a sense of independence and involvement in a social community, while at the same time provide the assistance with daily life and peace of mind that comes with a professional support team.
