Independent Living does not include services designed to support activities of daily living such as dressing and grooming. Under this living arrangement, the tenant leads an independent lifestyle that requires no extra assistance. Assisted Living provides a special combination of housing, personalized supportive services and healthcare designed to meet the needs of those who require help with activities of daily living. A Nursing Home, also known as a Skilled Nursing Facility, has Registered Nurses who provide 24-hour care to residents who can no longer care for themselves due to physical, emotional or mental conditions.
