1What is the difference between assisted living facilities and skilled nursing facilities (aka nursing homes)?
Assisted Living Facilities promote independence and socialization.

Services such as assistance with bathing, medication management, physical therapy are available if needed.
Skilled Nursing Facilities (aka nursing homes) take care of people of all ages who do not need to be in a hospital but are in-need of 24-hour skilled nursing care.
