Assisted living is for those that can live alone but it is advisable to have someone close in case of emergency and to check up on you. Nursing homes are for those that need 24 hour a day supervision with medical care on the premises.

A nursing home is where an old person would stay for the rest of their days.
Assisted living is where they live at home but someone comes around and helps them out a few times a week, such as with ironing or cleaning the house, basically things which need doing and get harder to do as you get older.
Assisted living is the better of the option of the two in 'most' cases, but not every... :(

An assisted living facility is a seniors residence where people live in their own apartments and eat their meals in a common dining room.
Nursing homes are for sick people, usually old, who are unable to care for themselves. Many are bedridden, others have Alzheimers and othe terminal illnesses that don't require hospitalization.
