What is the Difference between "assisted living" vs a "nursing home"?
A nursing home is an institutional medical model that provides around the clock medical care and monitoring services. Typically, a nursing home employs a physician as a medical director that oversees the clinical and rehabilitation services. Assisted Living on the other hand generally provides custodial care and minor nursing services for their residents. Typically, an assisted living community employs 1 RN or 1 LPN for their community as a director of nursing services overseeing resident care aides. What is "independent living"?
It is a type of senior living where residents are physically independent but like the idea of living with other people of the same age and appreciate the senior community lifestyle. Generally, independent living communities provide their residents with meals and light housekeeping so residents don’t have to worry about household chores and food preparation, therefore they can just focus on enjoying life.
