Who It's For
An older adult who needs hands-on help most days and should not be alone overnight, but who does not need the skilled nursing a nursing home provides.
Understanding Assisted Living
Assisted living sits between independent living and a nursing home. Residents keep their own apartment and a good deal of privacy, while staff are on hand day and night for the parts of the day they cannot manage alone.
The line against independent living is personal care: independent living removes the cooking and the upkeep, assisted living adds hands-on help with bathing, dressing, and medication. The line against a nursing home is clinical need, since assisted living is not staffed for continuous skilled nursing.
Pricing usually has two parts, a base rent for the apartment and meals, and a care fee set by an assessment of how much help someone needs. That care fee normally rises as needs increase, which is the part families are most often surprised by later.
Many communities also run memory care, sometimes in a separate secured area, which allows someone with dementia to move within the same campus rather than to an unfamiliar building. Licensing and what a community may provide are set by each state.
