The History of The Senior Living Industry:
Assisted Living vs. Nursing Homes
Senior living is a relatively new concept. Modern nursing homes didn’t become popular and accessible until the 1960s. Due to their institutional feel, residential senior living in the U.S. started appearing in the 1980s. Watch the video above to discover how Pegasus Senior Living communities have been at the forefront of revolutionizing assisted living and memory care.
