So, what are assisted living facilities and what is assisted living? Let’s start with the basics. Assisted living is a type of long-term residential care for seniors who need some help with daily tasks like laundry, transportation, andmedication management. Most assisted living facilities offer support with daily activities, as well opportunities for social and recreational activities. There are even places that don’t refer to themselves as assisted living which may provide assisted living services. This includes retirement homes, nursing homes, or senior living communities.
Most assisted living facilities can be large, hotel-like properties, or more intimate single family homes (often called board and care or residential care homes). Theterminologya community uses can vary slightly due to preference or state regulations. For example, you might see assisted living facilities sometimes referred to as long-term care facilities or even personal care homes. While each community is unique, most offer room and board, 24-hour (non-medical) care, housekeeping, laundry services, social engagement, wellness programs, and much more.
