Senior Living - info and advice for older adults. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. 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. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. 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. Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness.
