When it comes to elderly care, both nursing homes and assisted living facilities are fantastic options to consider. Both are alike in that they provide residents with a safe environment, companionship, social activities, personalized care and nutritious meals. However, there are also some key differences.
Assisted living facilities can be described as a more independent living space for the elderly. Residents are provided with any assistance they may need with those tasks that grow increasingly difficult with age such as changing and bathing. However, they are not given 24/7 nursing or medical care. On the other hand, nursing homes are aimed at those who require a more hands-on approach to caring and provide residents with 24/7 supervision and medical care.
Differences aside, one thing that nursing homes and assisted living facilities have in common is the fact that their popularity is booming in the face of a rapidly aging American population. From now until 2030, there will be 10,000 baby boomers reaching retirement age daily. As stated by the US Census Bureau there will be over 80 million US citizens who are over 65 years old by 2040 and 95 million by 2060. Furthermore, of those turning 65 it is projected that 70 percent will require some type of senior care as they grow older. In short, this means the number of seniors in assisted living facilities and nursing homes will increase dramatically over the next four decades.
Therefore, whilst nursing homes and assisted living facilities remain excellent choices as you begin to consider elderly care for your loved ones, numbers of residents are set to increase exponentially.
