An assisted living facility is a type of long-term care, but it is still a far cry from living in a nursing home. Assisted living facilities make it possible for elderly individuals who can no longer fully care for themselves to maintain a level of independence. Residents living in assisted living can manage to get through the day without too much supervision. However, they can still get help with things like:
People living in these facilities may have early-onset Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. Other candidates for assisted living may include elderly individuals with some physical disabilities. They may need assistance to go to the bathroom or shower, reminders to take medications and help with eating.
A nursing home provides a higher level of care for residents who have more advanced medical problems. Residents in assisted living may need help with certain tasks, but they do not yet need full-time medical care.
