When you hear about Florida assisted living and Florida nursing homes being described as distinct from each other, you would wonder how they differ from each other. This is one of the common questions that a lot of people would want to know the answer to before finally deciding where to place an elderly family member or a loved one. Both Florida assisted living and Florida nursing homes are facilities that are duly licensed and governed by the state of Florida, but they differ on the services they are allowed to offer and give their residents.

In a Florida assisted living setup, it is not allowed to extend complicated nursing care such as the actual administration of any form of medication. The extent of services varies from facility to facility where some can handle Alzheimer’s while others do not. Florida nursing homes, on the other hand, have medical personnel trained to administer medicines to their patients and assist them with all their medical and personal needs. They have licensed nurses and nursing assistants who are present in the vicinity twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week.

Florida assisted living setups specifically function by providing help and assistance to residents on their daily living activities that may include bathing, dressing grooming, toilet supervision, and administration of medicines, plus giving them three meals and two snacks a day. It could also include transport of residents to and from any medical appointments they may need and arranging social outings and activities.

If all an elderly needs is assistance to go about the daily living and to have a safe environment especially if family members are not living in the area, then putting them in Florida assisted living will be the best option. They vary in size, services, and price offered giving everyone a chance to choose how they want to live. There are small homes used as assisted living facilities, and there are bigger homes with multiple floors. Whatever you think is needed by the person you wish to be put in a living facility, you are assured that one or more Florida assisted living offers them at an affordable budget.

Florida nursing homes need to have a license before opening up, and the state of Florida have several criteria that should be met by each applicant. The license is usually for the number of patients they are allowed to take in, the home size, staffing, and some other equally important requirements.  Because there are several nursing homes in Florida, it can be a challenge to choose which one is right for your patient. If you need a place for a weak and ailing patient, then go for a more dependable home. The statistics alone can help verify if the one you have chosen can best serve the patient’s needs. Florida nursing homes are supposed to be homes for those who need simple and complicated medical needs. The long-term needs can be very well taken care of if the nursing home have medical professional staff that have the skill and training to handle different kinds of conditions.
