The difference between the two is (and I believe that's more than subtle), that assisted living means you live on your own, probably in your own apartment, according to the times you want to, and get assistance on request, while the retirement home is a big institutionalized facility, more similar to a hospital (but without the illness, and need for extensive medical care, or it would be a nursing home) or a prison (with more "luxury" and mostly without the bars, unless it is some kind of psychiatric facility), with a fix time plan, a curfew (I think), people eating the same stuff, collective animation, etc. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
