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. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit, care home or rest home provides a specific type of care for its residents.
