Assisted living is usually for older adults who want a residential setting, meals, housekeeping, activities, and help with daily routines such as bathing, dressing, mobility, or medication reminders, while still keeping as much independence as possible. It is not the same as a nursing home, which is designed for a higher level of ongoing medical and skilled nursing support.
