Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assisted living settings provide a more independent living environment than nursing homes while still offering assistance with activities of daily living. This option allows older adults to maintain some degree of independence while still receiving necessary care and support. In-home help and specially equipped homes are also options, but they may not provide the same level of supervision and care as assisted living settings. Homes adjacent to inpatient hospitals may not provide the necessary level of independence and community-based support that assisted living settings can offer.
