Assisted Living vs. Skilled Nursing: Making an Informed Decision
Transitioning from your home to a senior living community can be daunting and overwhelming. It is important to decide what type of facility and type of care is ideal for you in order to make the transition more comfortable.
Assisted living and skilled nursing are two senior living options that are often mixed up, however, they are very different. Assisted Living provides services to residents including meals, housekeeping, transportation, and a high level of independence. It is geared more toward those who do not require round-the-clock medical care, however, need assistance with tasks such as getting dressed and preparing meals.
Skilled nursing, on the other hand, has medical staff available at all times and most residents require help with tasks such as getting out of bed and using the restroom.
When choosing between an assisted living and a skilled nursing center, you must consider your specific needs, medical conditions, costs, and the logistics of which one is the better choice for you.
