As you get older living at home can become more difficult with chores and other household necessities. The difference between assisted living and a nursing home: in a nursing home full time care of the patients is required. With assisted living people have more timed to enjoy things that are important to them because caregivers will take care of the small tasks. Transportation is provided for those who are unable to drive. Medical care is also provided in-house.
Cons for assisted living. There is less freedom because many activities are on a schedule. Also the cost to stay in assisted living is high, about $50-200 dollars a day.
