Assisted Living

Assisted living is a residential option for seniors who want or need help with some of the activities of daily living—things like cooking meals, assistance with getting dressed, keeping house, and traveling to appointments.

An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you need more personal care services than you can get at home or an independent living retirement community, but you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home.

Assisted living facilities offer the safety and security of 24-hour support and access to care. Day or night, help is only a phone call away. However, privacy and independence are encouraged. A personalized plan is developed to determine a persons needs and wants, while giving the freedom to do what they can for themselves. In the U.S., each state has its own specific licensing requirements for assisted living, so you’ll want to check to see what services can be provided.
