What exactly is “assisted living”, and how does it differ from a nursing home or everyday retirement home?
Along the continuum of care, assisted living fits in between a nursing home and a retirement home. Assisted living is appropriate for people who do not require the health care of a skilled nursing facility, and are able to live independently with some help with daily activities. Assisted living supports a resident’s right to remain as independent as possible in a home-like setting. This setting is a self-contained apartment with private bath that is part of a larger community setting, including dining and activity areas. Assisted living at Brighton Court means you have choices about the services you need, the meals you eat, and the activities you participate in.
