What is the average size of an assisted living facility?

According to the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL), the average size of an assisted living community in the U.S. is approximately 39 licensed beds. However, this average masks a wide range of facility sizes, from small, home-like settings with fewer than 10 residents to large, campus-style communities with over 100. Understanding the differences in size is crucial for families and seniors determining the best fit for their needs.
