Assisted Living vs. Nursing Homes

Assisted living and nursing facilities are very different. However, some people might consider these senior care options to be synonymous. Both assisted living, nursing homes, and other senior care options offer housing, meal service, and assistance with ADLs. This includes bathing/toileting, toileting, and walking. One difference between assisted living and nursing homes is that the elderly in assisted living do not require skilled nursing.

Assisted Living Aiken SC residents, who are typically active seniors, can remain independent and do not require assistance with certain daily tasks. Seniors living in assisted-living don’t require 24-hour care or supervision, even though they may have some health concerns. They may be interested, if possible, in a maintenance-free lifestyle within a vibrant community offering a variety of social activities as well as opportunities to remain connected with friends and colleagues.

As assisted living, nursing home residents can also participate in activities. However assisted living facilities are more likely to offer activities that cater to everyone’s needs, such as cooking classes, exercise classes, trips to theaters, and other outings. A resident at an assisted living home has a different lifestyle than a resident in a nursing facility. The environment in assisted living facilities can feel more open and homely, while residents of nursing homes often share a space.

The cost of care in nursing homes is significantly more than that in assisted living. Nursing homes provide a more extensive level of care than luxury assisted living communities. For seniors to be admitted to nursing homes, they must obtain a prescription from a physician. Some people are severely disabled and may require skilled care and supervision. Others may be incapacitated or require a feeding tube.
