Join Tina Hall and Ashica Demira to learn the differences between assisted living communities and nursing homes (also called skilled nursing communities). In this presentation, we will discuss the types of care and service needs provided by
both and what to expect when you move in. We will also share who is an appropriate fit for assisted living communities, and when you might consider a nursing home instead.

She enjoys facilitating connections and finding new and creative solutions to common challenges through teamwork. She is a Certified Senior Advisor, a previous Senior Care Coalition Board president, and a very passionate advocate for seniors.
