How Does Assisted Living Differ From Nursing Homes Or Skilled Nursing Facilities?

Phoenix nursing homes and assisted living homes are both licensed by the state of Arizona. Care is provided by a combination of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified caregivers. Many seniors think they will ultimately be forced to live in nursing homes so often there is resistance to elderly care. Consequently, people often stay in their homes unsafely and miss the opportunity that assisted living can provide via senior care in:

Nursing homes are often seen as institutional elderly services, so seniors tend to avoid them so as to maintain independence. Rather than nurture dependence on staff as a nursing home would, assisted living staff provide elderly care according to individualized service plans in senior living communities, retirement homes and retirement communities. For example, maybe someone in senior housing needs help with bathing but still manages her own medications. Nursing home costs vary, but range typically from $150 to $225 a day. Assisted living costs for elderly housing can be bundled or broken out, but typically range from $65 to $150 a day.
