Does Assisted Living Include Caregiving?

This post from caregiverslist.com discusses the variation in services offered by assisted living facilities. If you are researchers assisted living for a family member, you will want to ask about what eldercare services are offered, whether nursing care is available and for what cost, and whether the center can provide continuity of care at the same location.

Finding the right Assisted Living Community presents a complicated task because of all these dynamics. In addition, another type of assisted living is called "continuing care" and available at Continuing Care Retirement Communities. These communities usually require a large initial deposit (some seniors sell their home and use the proceeds to pay for this deposit) but guarantee the senior will be able to remain in the community as their care needs may change. Usually condos or townhouses, apartments and nursing centers are all located on the campus and the senior may move between them, as needed.
