2. In the present scenario, assisted living facilities have been getting popular due to their infrastructure
capabilities. The ability to provide food and daily care to individuals in the long term has eased the burden of
millions of families across America.
What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living facility refers to the type of service that provides personal and medical help to a specific group
of people. It is similar to nursing homes but requires less attention. In the assisted living facility, people have
more independence and autonomy. It is best for the people who don’t need 24-hour supervision but don’t want
the burden of doing daily chores.
Most people generally assume assisted living to be for older adults only, but this isn’t true. It varies according
to the age and needs of people and is subject to state regulations. People suffering from disabilities,
substance abuse can also live in assisted facilities.

Types of assisted living facilities with explanation
Assisted Living facilities can differ according to the needs of people. Some assisted living facilities are made,
especially for the disabled; some are made for the elderly. In terms of size, they can differ from a small family-
owned center to a large corporate facility. We have listed down two of the most common types of facilities in
America. They are as follows:

3. Assisted Living Facilities for the Differently Abled People
One of the most common types of Assisted Living Facility is the Disability Assisted Living Facility. These types
of facilities provide service to people with special needs. People who suffer from physical deformation,
emotional stress, etc., are suitable to live in these facilities.
People who have a temporary physical disadvantage due to any medical surgery also might choose this kind of
service. They hope to recover fast with daily support from the service staff and socialization with others.
Assisted Living Facility for the Elderly
The main goal of these facilities is to provide daily care to elders, which they struggle to do alone. They also
conduct social activities to encourage healthy interaction between their clients. At present, assisted living
facilities are providing more and more primary care to people. Hence, nursing homes are becoming more
similar to rehabilitation centers for people who need extensive care. The age group of people may vary
according to the facility center.
