Difference between personal care home and assisted living?

Wondering if anyone has any info on this. When i was hired i was told it was assisted living, but due to the new state regulations we are now a personal care home. does anyone know the difference/responsibilites???

thankssss!
I think it may just be a name change.

Comment:
In PA, the names have been used simutaneously up until the new regs. Assisted living seems to have more strict regulations such as square footage in resident rooms. I believe that assisted living level of care will be between a personal care level of care and a nursing home/intermediate/skilled level of care. I will remain working in personal care (rather than changing the name to assisted living) because we can not remodel our rooms to be the proper square footage. Hope that this helps!
