Career Opportunities Investor Relations Contact Alterra Site Index Assisted living provides housing, supportive services and lifestyle for older adults who require assistance with activities of daily living but do not need the skilled services provided in a nursing home. When it is no longer safe or practical for individuals to live at home, assisted living provides a comfortable environment with programs and services designed to maximize independence and quality of life. Most residences have between 25 and 120 units. Typical residents are frail elderly or those with Alzheimer's disease or other memory impairments.
Costs vary with the residence, room size, and the types of services needed by the residents.
Monthly costs are generally less than the cost of home health services or nursing home care. Assisted living may be the ideal solution for individuals who wish to remain independent, but need some help with daily living.
