What is the difference between Assisted Living and a Nursing home?
I'm a CNA and I work at a nursing home. I have been offered a position at an assisted living place. Anyone know the difference between the two?
Hi,
Having recently had my mother in both of these types of facilities, it differs by level of care and also the staffing requirements.
In a nursing home (sometimes called skilled nursing of SNF), the patients typically require more advanced therapies like IVs, wound care, PT or OT. SNFs have strict requirements in most states regarding the number of RNs, LVNs and CNAs per patient. These facilities can be long-term care but are also used as transitional facilities for folks that are recovering from surgeries (i.e. someone needs IV antibiotics for a month).
Assisted living is not really medically oriented. It is designed to provide assistance with daily tasks like dressing, cleaning, bathroom, etc. Some facilities have a no-dimentia policy and some are licensed to care for alzheimers patients. There are not strict requirements for nursing or LVNs on staff, and most do not require full-time nurses. Most use med-techs for medication management. The patients in assisted living are mostly all long-term and there can be (with the right place) a more familial environment.
I often got questions like these from friends and family, so ended up started a blog to discuss these kinds of issues. Feel free to check it out, or send me a private note if you want to chat more. Good luck on the new gig!

A Place For Mom - Assisted Living Overview
Can a Trust executor be over ruled in a case when another person might go into a assisted living ?
My mother was told today that she might need to go a assisted living leaving me to live alone. I am out of work, has a disability, and is borderline homeless. My sister was named executor of the estate but who was the one that drove my mother to the hospital, is her personal companionship, and is the one who does all the work in the house: ME !
If your sister was named executor, there's a reason.
My sister is executor of my father's estate. Why? Because she's more responsible, better with money, and/or has more time to devote to the task at hand than myself or any of my siblings. Let her have at it, I say. There's nothing in my dad's house that is worth damaging the relationship I have with my siblings when he's gone. They'll be all I have left.
Maybe talk to your sister about your situation. I'm willing to bet she'd help you figure something out. If not, it's probably because you're irresponsible and need to do something for yourself for a change rather than rely on other people. Sorry, but it's true.
