A member asked:
Are assisted living and a snf the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Assisted living doesn't provide any nursing care although they may have a nurse serve in an administrative role. Skilled nursing facilities OTOH must have RNs/LPNs on site around the clock. Check out http://www.guidetonursinghomes.com/nursing-homes/assisted-living-nursing-homes.html.
