Assisted living centers are designed to provide housing and support with activities of daily life (ADLs), while offering immediate access to essential healthcare services customized for each patient’s stage of life and mobility.
Assisted living may be the ideal environment for a person who:
May need some nursing care but not full-time medical assistance
Is mostly independent but needs help with ADLs, such as grooming and hygiene
Wants to stay active and have access to age-appropriate activities
Could benefit from being part of a close community of residents
Is frequently falling, unsafe if left alone or forgetting to eat or take medication
Will thrive in a culturally-sensitive environment with compassionate caregivers
