"Assisted living" is not the same as a "home" or an "asylum".
It is, specifically, a place where older people who don't have anyone to care for them on a daily basis but cannot completely care for themselves can go. Basically, they have their own rooms or apartments but assistants are available to help them dress or eat, etc. There is also a restaurant so they don't have to worry about meals.
But, when they get too sick, and they actually need a nurse or a Dr. more than just occasionally, they have to leave and get transferred to a more specialized facility.
This doesn't exist in Brazil or in Portugal, because full-time help is cheap enough that people like this can stay at home with full-time help. In the US, though, this would be prohibitive to all but the wealthy.
