[quote=Anonymous]Assisted living does not equal nursing home. The place I’m looking at for my mom is basically the same as her independent living place but with nurses on staff, medication administration and a higher staff to resident ratio. The residents can still come and go (they ask them to let the desk know but so does her current place), they offer daily activities, they take field trips to stores and they’ll provide transport to the doctor. Some assisted living places are very similar to independent living but with some extra help. It’s not a death sentence. And no one gets drugged there (well maybe memory care people do?).[/quote]
