What is assisted living?

Assisted living homes offer a room or apartment, meals and help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and taking medicines, for people who do not need the round-the-clock nursing care of a nursing home. Each state licenses them under its own names and rules. Medicare does not pay for the rent or personal care in assisted living; in some states Medicaid programs can help.

What to ask when you visit

A general checklist for any assisted living or residential care home. It is not medical or legal advice.

  • Is the license current? Can I see the latest state inspection report and how any problems were fixed?
  • What does the monthly fee include, and what costs extra (levels of care, help with medicines, laundry, transport)?
  • How and how often are fees raised, and with how much notice?
  • What help with daily activities is offered (bathing, dressing, medicines), and who gives it?
  • How many staff are on duty during the day and at night? Is a nurse on site or on call?
  • What happens if care needs increase? When would a resident have to move out?
  • Is there a memory-care area for people with dementia, and is the home licensed for it?
  • Does the home accept Medicaid (or a state waiver program), long-term care insurance or veterans’ benefits?
  • How are medical emergencies handled, and which hospital is usually used?
  • Can I talk with residents and families, share a meal, and visit at different times of day?
  • What does the contract say about moving out, discharge and refunds? Ask for a copy to read at home.
