Assisted living provides support with daily activities while allowing residents to maintain independence. Assisted living communities are a special combination of housing, meals, and personal assistance designed to meet the needs of those who require personal assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).
Personal assistance also includes assisting with administration/self-administration of medication, arranging for health and supportive services, and providing reasonable recreational, social, and personal services.
Assisted living is a residential option that promotes self-direction and participation in decisions regarding care and services. Its philosophy is to support choice, individuality, privacy, and independence.
How do I know if it’s time for senior living?
