What is the difference between assisted living and independent living?

The key difference between assisted living and independent living is the level of care provided. Independent living is best suited for seniors who can manage daily tasks on their own but want a supportive, social environment and help with household chores. At Maplewood Senior Living, Assisted Living goes beyond providing care—it’s about fostering a vibrant, supportive community where every resident can thrive. Our services are designed to offer just the right amount of support, empowering residents to maintain independence while enjoying a worry-free lifestyle.

Does assisted living provide 24 hour care?

Yes, it is typical for assisted living communities to provide 24 hour supervision and support.

When is it time to transition to assisted living?

Transitioning to assisted living is often a gradual process, and there’s no exact “right time” for everyone. It’s important to talk openly with your family, your healthcare provider, and possibly a geriatric care manager who can assess your needs and help guide the decision. Visiting potential communities and considering factors like location, services, and comfort level with the environment can also help make the transition smoother.

Ultimately, the decision to move to assisted living should be based on your personal needs, health status, and comfort, ensuring you maintain as much independence and quality of life as possible while receiving the appropriate support.

What is assisted living vs nursing home?

The primary difference between assisted living and a nursing home is the level of care provided, with each catering to different needs based on a person’s health, independence, and daily assistance requirements.

Assisted Living:

  • Care Level: Provides help with daily tasks (e.g., bathing, dressing, medication reminders) but not intensive medical care.
  • Independence: Residents maintain a higher degree of independence with private living spaces and flexible schedules.
  • Medical Services: Basic health monitoring, but no skilled nursing or extensive medical care.
  • Cost: Typically more affordable than nursing homes, paid through private funds or long-term care insurance.
  • Ideal For: Seniors who need some assistance but are largely independent.

Nursing Home:

  • Care Level: Offers 24/7 skilled nursing care, including medical treatments and rehabilitation.
  • Independence: Residents have less independence and require more supervision.
  • Medical Services: Extensive medical care, including chronic condition management, physical therapy, and round-the-clock monitoring.
  • Cost: More expensive due to the higher level of care, with potential coverage by Medicare (short-term) or Medicaid (long-term).
  • Ideal For: Seniors who require intensive, ongoing medical care or have complex health conditions.

How long do most people live in assisted living?

The length of time people live in assisted living varies widely depending on individual health, personal circumstances, and the type of care they need. On average, most people live in assisted living for anywhere from about 2 to 3 years, though some may stay for a shorter or longer period.
