There’s a perception that senior living is a “nursing home,” but that’s not the case. Daphne Davis at Pinnacle Senior Placements provides an overview of the different types. There’ independent living, such as over 55 communities, which is common. There’s assisted living that provides some support for activities of daily living, where maybe you have mobility issues and just need help dressing and bathing, but can still drive. There’s memory care where you need a formal diagnosis of some kind of dementia, from early onset to end stages. There are adult family homes, a smaller environment, also for people who need a lot of care.
