More Information
Many aging adults choose assisted living facilities to help with their long-term care needs. These residential facilities provide long-term care, independence, and a sense of community. Most assisted living facilities resemble apartment or dormitory buildings.
Assisted living aims to help seniors live as independently as they wish while offering safety, community, and 24/7 access to care. Assisted living works best for those who need more care than they can get at home but not enough to need a nursing home.
At an assisted living facility, residents can access many services, including:
- Personalized care and help with activities of daily living
- Medication management
- Housekeeping and laundry
- Transportation services
- High-quality, healthy meals
- Social and community activities
- 24/7 access to staff
