Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Kentucky words these licenses as “Assisted Living Community - Basic Health Services” (18), “Assisted Living Community” (8), “Assisted Living Community - Dementia Care” (7).
