The two terms were interchangeable until 2011, when the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania began to distinguish between assisted living residences and personal care homes, licensing them separately. By definition, they now differ somewhat in their levels of care. A personal care home offers housing, meals, medication assistance, and personal care tasks. An assisted living residence also provides skilled health care services to supplement personal care.
