Long Term Care Certification Practice Test

Which amenity would typically NOT be available in an assisted living facility?

1. Housekeeping services

2. Meal preparation

3. Doctors on site at all times

4. Medication management

The correct answer is: Doctors on site at all times

In assisted living facilities, the focus is on providing residents with support for daily activities while allowing them a degree of independence. Amenities such as housekeeping services, meal preparation, and medication management are standard offerings, as these services help residents maintain their quality of life and manage their health effectively. However, having doctors on site at all times is typically not a feature of an assisted living facility. Instead, these facilities may have a partnership or arrangements with local healthcare providers or specialists who visit on a scheduled basis or as needed. This approach allows for adequate healthcare access without the necessity of having a physician physically present in the facility at all times. Thus, while residents can receive medical care, the typical model of assisted living does not support full-time medical staff on site.
