Assisted living is basically for those seniors who are still independent and do not require constant medical care or intensive care but would rather suffice with lower intermediate care like assistance in grooming, dressing, assistance in personal hygiene, medication management and mobility.

In India, Assisted living is often termed as old age homes. Besides the usual assistance for the elderly, housekeeping, cooking, blend housing, hospitality and health care are some of the other standard facilities at old age homes. Now homecare for elderly at home is getting popular in India as it has proven to be very helpful with taking care of seniors in the home in the familiar, pleasant environment.
