Availability of Medical<br />
Professionals<br />
<strong>Independent</strong> living community offers a nurse or<br />
staff during weekday’s business hours only but<br />
assisted living offers registered nurse on site 24<br />
hours per day. These nurses maintain the daily<br />
activity of each <strong>and</strong> every resident. Apart from<br />
this, some assisted living offer regular doctor<br />
visit.<br />

Safety <strong>and</strong> Emergency<br />
Response<br />
<strong>Independent</strong> living communities usually have a<br />
security staff during overnight who looks after<br />
any falls or accidents. On the other h<strong>and</strong><br />
assisted living communities offer nurses,<br />
caregivers in the community every hour who are<br />
ready to help you in every situation <strong>and</strong><br />
underst<strong>and</strong> when <strong>and</strong> whom to call for better<br />
assistance.<br />

Delicious <strong>and</strong> Nutritious Meals<br />
Depending on the rent independent living offers<br />
one or two meals per day <strong>and</strong> you may need to<br />
pay an additional cost for the meal at dining<br />
room or restaurant. <strong>Assisted</strong> living community<br />
offers three meals per day without any<br />
additional costs. Meals are provided to<br />
individual residents depending on their medical<br />
conditions. Even snacks are also available<br />
throughout the day.<br />

Community Life<br />
When comparing community life between<br />
independent living <strong>and</strong> assisted living facilities,<br />
you will have more opportunities in assisted<br />
living for socialization, making new friends,<br />
experiencing new adventures <strong>and</strong> facilities. In a<br />
good assisted living community it is now nearly<br />
impossible to lead a boring life which is not the<br />
same thing for independent living facilities.<br />
