assisted living facility

As Francesca has rightly pointed out ,"the concept of assisted living is very common in English, and not as common in Italian". Therefore, I think that the closest concept comparable to the aforementioned description is a comparable service offered by the ' Ministero della Salute': "assistenza residenziale e semiresidenziale", secondo la definizione del Ministero della Salute, si intende: -Il complesso integrato di interventi, procedure ed attività sanitarie e socio-sanitarie erogate a persone non autosufficienti e non assistibili a domicilio, all'interno di idonei "nuclei accreditati" per la specifica funzione-" I am not saying that it is the same service but a comparable service. Therefore I would propose to translate assisted living facility as ' servizio di assistenza residenziale' or something along those lines.

The concept of assisted living and sheltered housing is the same . If you see in my reference I have now included an explanation of assisted living: "You live in a self-contained flat, with your own front door, but staff are usually available up to 24 hours per day to provide personal care and support services. These are tailored to you and can include help with washing, dressing, going to the toilet and taking medication. Domestic help, such as shopping and laundry, and meals may also be provided". The difference between assisted living and sheltered housing is in the regulation: " Unlike sheltered housing, assisted living housing is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)"

Thank you for the link. This must be a huge project and it confirms my idea that the **assisted living facility** is the help provided to elderly/disabled residents who live independently in self-contained flats.

Is also known in the UK as 'sheltered housing'. Sheltered housing usually consists of self-contained flats where elderly or disabled people still can live independently but are offered help for different things like maintenance of the flats, cleaning, helping them getting out of the flat if they are on a wheelchair, etc. Please see my reference below. This is not a care home or an institute.
