Assisted living communities provide housing and care to seniors who may need some assistance with daily tasks, but who do not require the skilled care provided at a nursing home. Assistance with medications, activities of daily living, meals and housekeeping are routinely provided. Three meals per day are also served in a central dining room. Residents live in private apartments that frequently have a limited kitchen area (kitchenette). Staff is available 24 hours per day for additional safety. Social activities and scheduled transportation are also available in most communities. A special area for memory care is available in some, but not all communities (see Memory Care).

Each state has its own licensing and regulation requirements for assisted living providers, which can affect the services and care offered. For example, some assisted living communities are able to provide insulin injections while other communities cannot, depending on their licensing and the state the community is located. Another example of varying levels of care is based on ambulation; some states require that all assisted living residents be able to walk, while other states permit residents that need help walking or even need to be lifted.
