As part of its annual announcement of its Best Nursing Homes list, U.S. News and World Report has run a series of articles on assisted living. The articles describe what assisted living is, offer recommendations for discussing assisted living with an aging parent, and outline advice on how to choose an assisted living facility (ALF).
