Assisted Living vs. Nursing Homes

While assisted living is different from nursing homes, some people might consider the two types of senior care to be synonymous. Both assisted living, nursing homes, and other senior care options offer accommodation, meal and support services and assistance with ADLs. One difference between assisted living and nursing homes is that the elderly in assisted living do not require skilled nursing.

Assisted Living Vancouver WA residents, who are typically active seniors, can remain independent and do not require assistance with certain daily tasks. Although some seniors in assisted living may have some health issues, they don’t require 24/7 supervision and medical care. 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 more varied options for residents. Activities include 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.

Care at nursing homes can be significantly more expensive than 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 may require intensive skilled and monitored care. Others may need a feeding tube, be disabled or bedridden.
