How does an Assisted Living community differ from a nursing home?
Nursing homes offer a higher level of medical care, usually for very frail people who have numerous healthcare requirements. Assisted Living communities are intended for people who are generally able to care for themselves except for a few activities with which they require help — for example, preparing meals, bathing, dressing, or performing household chores. Assisted Living services are also helpful for people who are sometimes confused or experiencing memory problems.
