Carriage House Assisted Living is a first-class assisted living community in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It is within classy Calcasieu County which is part of the Pelican State.
Independent living communities are drastically different from nursing home facilities. Ultimately, the purpose of the two types of communities are completely different; independent living communities are about enjoying a community of other seniors that caters to your lifestyle preferences, while nursing homes are designed to help seniors with the activities of daily living or with the management of medical conditions. Independent living communities are perfect for active seniors who need minimal assistance and want to live in a vibrant community of other seniors like themselves.
Because these communities are designed for seniors who still live independently, living spaces are comparable to those in a typical townhouse or apartment home, complete with one or two bedrooms, private bathrooms, full or partial kitchens, and living areas. In contrast, a nursing home facility is designed to support seniors who need additional care or who are otherwise unable to live independently. Therefore, the dwelling areas in nursing homes typically include a sleeping area and bathroom but do not include kitchens or separate living spaces.
