Assisted Living vs. Nursing Home: What’s the Difference?

Assisted living is for those who need help with daily activities but are still largely independent, while nursing homes provide 24/7 medical supervision for individuals with complex health conditions.

Key Differences

• Assisted Living: Focuses on housing, meals, and support with activities like dressing and medication reminders. It promotes independence in a community setting.
• Nursing Home: Functions as a clinical setting for those needing continuous medical care or significant rehabilitation after a hospital stay.
