"No person should have to live in a nursing home or other institution . . . unnecessary institutionalization of individuals with disabilities is discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act," said Clinton Sec. of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala. "If I were disabled I would want this choice -- and so would you."

- Definition of Assisted Living
Services and Regulation: Assisted living is a state regulated and monitored residential long-term care option. Assisted Living provides or coordinates oversight and services to meet the residents’ individualized scheduled needs, based on the residents’ assessments and service plans and their unscheduled needs as they arise.
Services that are required by state law and regulation to be provided or coordinated must include but are not limited to:
24-hour awake staff to provide oversight and meet scheduled and unscheduled needsProvision and oversight of personal and supportive services (assistance with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living)Health related services (e.g., medication management services)Social servicesRecreational activitiesMealsHousekeeping and laundryTransportation
A resident has the right to make choices and receive services in a way that will promote the resident’s dignity, autonomy, independence, and quality of life. These services are disclosed and agreed to in the contract between the provider and resident. Assisted living does not generally provide ongoing, 24-hour skilled nursing.
