How much care an African elephant needs depends on its health and its age. If it is in bad health at any age, it will need a lot of care. If it is in good health, and not an infant, it will need the basics of any animal. The younger they are, and more senior it becomes, the more care it will need.

Is the Asian or Asian elephant bigger?

It's the other way around. African elephants have bigger ears. The theory is that since elephants can't sweat, they use their ears - which are full of blood vessels close to the surface - to cool themselves down with. And as Africa is generally hotter than Asia, African elephants need bigger ears to keep from overheating. Also. African elephants generally live in the open, while Asian elephants spend more time in the woods. Bigger ears would get quite worn and torn if they kept brushing up against trees and branches all the time.
