FAQ's
What is the difference between between an assistant living facility and nursing home?
​
An assisted living facility is a residential program for individuals who need help with daily activities, such as personal care, mobility, medications, meal preparation for household chores, but who do not require skilled nursing care. Assisted living communities strive to create a home-like setting that promotes independence. Nursing homes on the other hand are designed for people who need daily nursing care. These facilities have nursing staff available 24 hours a day, and have arranged services (social work, occupational and physical therapies etc.) to meet the residents health care needs.
How do I get my parents admitted to an assisted living facility? ​
​
If your mother/father is admitted to the assisted living facility, she/he can continue to live there when her/his health declines as long as her/his care needs are not greater than the highest level of care for which the facility is licensed. If, however, their needs are greater than the facility license requirement she will likely need to move to an assisted living facility that allows higher level of care or possibly be transferred to a nursing home.
