The difference between assisted living and independent living is the amount of daily support needed by the individual. Assisted living is designed for seniors who maintain independence in many ways but require some help with daily tasks. Independent living, on the other hand, is designed for seniors who don’t require daily assistance but enjoy the convenient services and social opportunities offered at a senior living community.

The difference between assisted living and memory care is the level of care provided and the needs that are addressed. Assisted living provides support as needed for activities of daily living while promoting an independent lifestyle. The environment is less structured, and residents manage their own schedules. Memory care provides a more extensive level of support and supervision for seniors with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. Seniors receive specialized care from trained professionals in a calm and secure environment. Memory care residents follow a structured routine that’s personalized to their needs to promote wellness and engagement.
