Assisted living centers provide medical and personal assistance for residents who might otherwise be incapable of living alone. Generally, it is seen as an intermediate step between living alone and living under the full-time care of skilled staff at a nursing home.
While the level of care provided at assisted living facilities may be less intensive than what one might expect in a nursing home, standards of care must still be maintained to ensure the safety and health of residents.

Holding Assisted Living to a Higher Standard | Towson Assisted Living Abuse Lawyer
