Assisted living is a housing category for seniors who need a bit of extra help with a few daily living tasks considered non-medical. These include tasks like dressing or bathing. Whereas nursing homes are more suitable for people who need higher levels of round-the-clock care, assisted living facilities are designed to create a home-like community where individuals can select the support they need to continue living independently. Some Assisted Living facilities will offer additional wellness programs, weekly housekeeping, linen, and personal laundry services.
