Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. 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. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. 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.
