Assisted living or home senior care offers a
wide range of caregiving benefits to their
senior members. Facility licensing affects
the degree of care and a higher degree of
licensing enables greater care for
the members.

Assisted living facilities are not alike and have
their own distinct personality. They range from
large complexes in the suburbs to high-rise
apartment buildings in the city, and even small
cottages surrounded by nature. The majority of
assisted living centers are licensed and provides
care for at least 20 people while many larger
communities can serve up to 100 residents.

Assisted Living facilities treat pets as
therapeutic rather than bothersome.
Different communities have different policies
for pets but all of them supports a furry pet
to look after their senior members. Consider
doing a proper research before choosing any
pet and inform the assisted living facility if
your loved one happens to be allergic to
certain animals.

Assisted Living is costly for some citizens and so
41 states provide home and community-based
waivers that enable low-income residents to
enjoy their stay at these communities. Also,
long-term care insurance can help seniors for
financing their long-term care needs. Veterans
and their spouses can enjoy VA benefits which
will diminish the cost of senior care. Medicaid
facilities are available for seniors with low
income and few assets.

Assisted living and nursing homes are not the
same. While home-based assisted living members
are independent, nursing home residents require
24- hour assistance. Also, assisted living offers
one bedroom apartments compared to nursing
homes with single private rooms. Last but not
the least, assisted living members are mobile and
don't require continuous medical attention
whereas nursing home patients are bed-ridden
and require skilled nursing.

Assisted living offers diverse options for their
residents by fulfilling their cultural, religious,
dietary, and language needs. There will be an
ever increasing need for niche senior living
communities due to the large diversity of
America.

Modern private assisted living communities
offer memory care programs for their members
to improve the quality of life of each resident.
Senior citizens suffering from Alzheimer's or
dementia will have the option to live with the
