When it comes to senior living options, there are a lot of different choices out there. One common question people have is what is the difference between assisted living and nursing homes? To decide between the two, it is important to understand the key differences between them.
Assisted Living Communities
Assisted living communities provide personal care in a home-like setting. This can include help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Assisted living communities also provide social and recreational activities, as well as transportation services. They do not usually provide medical care. If residents need medical care, they will be referred to a home health agency or doctor.

This can include help with activities of daily living, as well as skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services.
