How is Assisted Living Different from a Nursing Home?
Assisted living facilities are just one step down from living independently in your home. They are senior apartments within a facility that has healthcare options, making it more convenient to get help with everyday activities you can no longer perform for yourself done. However, assisted living comes in an apartment like setting which also gives you the independence you want to keep. This type of community offers you private one bedroom with kitchenette options, but also allows you to call an emergency healthcare worker within a few minutes for a needed task or emergency.
Yes, you can have a home healthcare worker visit your home, but often this is a more expensive option. Then there are also the inconveniences that occur when the worker cannot arrive, cancels, gets sick or has some other emergency preventing him from getting to your door. Assisted living communities vary in price depending on the services, amenities and your healthcare needs. In Alabama assisted living facilities have a general cost of about $35,370 dollars, but again this will vary from facility to facility.
