Which type of care facility typically offers assistance with daily living activities but not skilled nursing?

Assisted Living Facilities are designed to support individuals who need help with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication management, while still promoting independence. These facilities typically do not provide skilled nursing services, which are more specialized medical care often found in skilled nursing facilities.

Residents in assisted living facilities may have some health-related needs, but they generally do not require the round-the-clock medical supervision that skilled nursing provides. This allows individuals to receive the necessary assistance in a home-like environment, encouraging autonomy while ensuring that their everyday needs are met.

In contrast, Continuing Care Retirement Facilities combine different levels of care, including independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care, allowing residents to transition between levels as their needs change. Intermediate Care Facilities focus on providing basic nursing and supportive care but do not offer the comprehensive services found in skilled nursing facilities. Lastly, Skilled Nursing Facilities are specifically designed to provide high-level medical care and rehabilitation services for individuals with complex health needs.
