What is Assisted Living? Independence with Help as Needed.
Assisted living is a residential facility that offers assistance with daily activities for people who are able to get around independently.
Every community offers different levels of support, so it's important to understand the level of care your loved one needs now as well as what health conditions may need further assistance in the future.
Assisted living communities nationwide settings vary. In many areas, assisted senior housing could be considered independent living with added services to assist those who need "hands-on" care. Some assisted living services nationwide are also provided in residential settings. In these settings, seniors receive either a private or shared room in a residential neighborhood home within a senior community.

Answers to the Most Common Questions About Assisted Living Nationwide
Assisted living can be an excellent option for many seniors.
The assisted living level of care is for seniors who could be frail, but do not need 24-hour medical nursing care. They sometimes need help with activities such as housecleaning, meals, dressing, and medication reminders and monitoring. The average assisted living resident is 84 years old and needs help with two or three of the activities mentioned above.
Some seniors move into assisted living because living alone may not be safe for them due to the risk of falling, increased memory difficulty or the risk of taking the wrong medication or an incorrect dosage. Many times moving into assisted living can help you avoid the need for a nursing home altogether.
