true
false

Explanation:

• Question 6: Assisted living settings aim to create a community - like environment. Common areas are primarily for residents to interact and socialize. Private conferences are not the main purpose (they would likely be in a separate room), increasing square footage is a side - effect, and decreasing abuse/neglect risk is more about staff training and facility policies rather than common areas.
• Question 7: Assisted living facilities do offer around - the - clock supervision (to some extent, depending on needs), help with daily living (such as bathing, dressing), and a social environment (through activities and common areas).
• Question 8: Assisted living facilities are more like a hotel or apartment setting (with more independence - focused living), while skilled nursing facilities are more hospital - like (with a higher level of medical care).
