Assisted Living Communities are designed to meet the needs of seniors who no longer can live alone, but who are also not in need of skilled nursing services. Residents usually live in private apartments and receive individualized licensed care.
Amenities like meals, housekeeping and social activities are generally included. More extensive assistance such as dressing, bathing, medication management, and incontinence care are available as needed. In-house care teams tend to the more elevated services, and monthly cost is dependent on the needs of the resident.
Many Assisted Living Communities aim for an “age in place” environment, meaning care is available in multiple tiers designed to follow someone through end of life without need for another move.
