Assisted living communities are designed for older adults who need some amount of help with their daily activities but want to maintain their independence and live in a social setting. They don’t require daily medical care but need help with personal care such as bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, and medication management.
These communities offer a homelike atmosphere where residents can choose from spacious studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Apartments may offer modern appliances, designer finishes, safety features, private patios, and waterfront views.
According to the National Center for Assisted Living, there are more than 800,000 Americans residing in assisted living communities, so you’re not alone if you’re considering a move to an assisted living community!
