assisted living facility
Seniors' care home
An assisted living facility is a residence for people—typically elderly—who need help with daily activities but not full-time medical care.
Residents usually have private rooms or apartments while staff assists with meals, bathing, medication, and housekeeping.
After her fall, we moved Mom to an assisted living facility.
The term distinguishes this level of care from nursing homes, which provide more intensive medical supervision.
