Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. Staff is available twenty-four hours a day. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. Generally, retirement homes are designed for seniors who need minimal to moderate support with their daily living activities. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living.
