Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
An assisted living facility serves residents who need help with activities of daily living plus supervision, in a residential, home-like environment, without the 24-hour skilled nursing care a nursing facility provides. AH-V.1c tests the site-of-care menu: assisted living is the middle option between independent living and a skilled nursing facility, and it is a common LTC benefit setting.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Acute care hospitals treat acute medical conditions, not residents needing daily personal care.
- B) Hospice is end-of-life care focused on comfort, not ongoing room, board, and personal assistance.
- D) Skilled nursing facilities provide 24-hour skilled nursing, which the question excludes.
Memory hook
Assisted living = home-like room and board plus supervision; nursing homes = the 24-hour skilled tier.
