Assisted Living Offers a Maintenance-Free Lifestyle
Seniors experiencing difficulty living independently can benefit from living at an assisted living residence, where staff will monitor residents, call doctors when necessary and offer medication assistance services.
They do not provide intensive hands-on care like nurses would at a nursing home; a daily base fee covers housing, meals, housekeeping services, transportation to grocery stores or doctor appointments and more.
Health Care
Most assisted living communities provide case management, which involves coordinating health care services from outside providers as well as personal care for residents. Individualized service plans are developed to address each resident’s medical, nutritional, rehabilitation and cognitive needs; many facilities also feature nurses for emergency or non-emergency assistance.
