Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. 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. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term assisted living. Independent Living Communities enable residents to live as independently as possible, while providing certain services and social activities.
