Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. A nursing home may be a good choice if both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities. 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. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person. Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level.
