AssistedLivingFacilities.org  was created to offer a nationwide resource of assisted living information. One of the features at the site is a directory that lists each state's licensed assisted living residences. The states may have different terms for assisted living, such as residential care, as well as different license requirements. In general, most assisted living communities offer a similar type of support and care, but there are differences between states and even within states. For more information call 1-866-333-6002.
