Nursing homes provide acute and long-term nursing care and services on a continuing basis, less care than a hospital patient but daily nursing assistance. Waverly Care Home, as an assisted living home, meets the needs of adults who may require at least moderate assistance with their activities of daily living (ADL’s). Additionally, assisted living is intended to provide that assistance in a warm, home-like atmosphere, rather than that of an institutional setting like a nursing home. Assisted living also provides substantial social interaction with other residents and staff.
