Assisted living emerged in the 1990s as an eldercare alternative on the continuum of care for seniors for whom Independent living is no longer appropriate but who do not need the 24-hour medical care provided by a nursing home. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you need more personal care services than are feasible at home or in an independent living retirement community. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes.
