What is assisted living?
#1
Assisted living is a type of long-term care for seniors and people with disabilities that provides personal care, support services, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) in a residential setting. It is designed to meet the needs of individuals who require some help with daily tasks, but do not require the intensive medical and nursing care provided in a nursing home.

Typical services offered in an assisted living community include:
  • Personal care, such as help with bathing, dressing, and grooming
  • Medication management
  • Meal preparation and assistance with eating
  • Housekeeping and laundry services
  • Transportation and recreational activities

Assisted living facilities vary in size and type, ranging from small, home-like settings to large communities that offer a wide range of services and amenities. The goal of assisted living is to provide a supportive, homelike environment where residents can maintain their independence and dignity, while receiving the care and assistance they need to live comfortably.
