The History of The Senior Living Industry:

Assisted Living vs. Nursing Homes

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.
