with daily activities such as groom- ing, getting dressed, bathing, using the restroom, and taking prescribed medications.

Assisted living also has a social component, as residents can socialize during meal times and other activities without having to leave the facility.
CARF-CCAC ACCREDITATION is issued by the Continuing Care Ac- creditation Commission (CCAC), an organization that is part of the Com- mission on Accreditation of Rehabili- tation Facilities (CARF), to facilities that provide services for the aging. Facilities that are eligible to receive CARF-CCAC accreditation include as- sisted-living centers, continuing-care retirement communities, aging ser- vices networks, and nursing homes. To qualify for CARF-CCAC ac-
creditation, a health care facility must demonstrate it is committed to providing quality care to seniors. During the accreditation process, facility owners must fill out a survey, allow CARF-CCAC representatives to observe the operations of the facil- ity, and undergo an organizational review. In addition, the CARF-CCAC will interview a facility’s staff and pa- tients and the family members of pa- tients to determine the quality of care patients receive. CARF-CCAC makes its accreditation decisions based on the standards developed by a team of service providers, consumers, and policy makers. More than 6,000 fa- cilities are accredited by CARF-CCAC.
CCRCs, or continuing-care retire- ment communities, deliver several levels of care on one campus. These communities are made up of apart- ments that can be occupied by independent-living residents, as well as those who need assisted- living, skilled-nursing, or memory- care services.
THE CONTINUUM OF CARE is a philosophy that allows patients to re- ceive health care at different levels of intensity within a single community, typically a CCRC.
DINING OPTIONS often include a set number of meals a week prepared in on-campus restaurants, a cafete- ria, or a residence. Check with the community and current residents to see what is available. Fine dining gen- erally means meals will be served in courses with an appetizer or a salad,
