Assisted Living
Assisted living provides housing, meals, and help with daily activities - bathing, dressing, medication - for adults who no longer want to or safely can live alone, but don't need the 24-hour skilled nursing of a nursing home. Licensing, staffing minimums, and what “assisted living” may legally include vary by state.
