In an assisted living facility, your loved one’s independence is mainly determined by their physical and mental condition. That being said most assisted living facilities strive to make their residents’ life as fulfilling as possible. What this means is that a good facility will work with your loved one to ensure they can get the help they need while still making sure they are independent when they can be. Many individuals in an assisted living facility are completely independent but have the peace of mind to know that if they fall or something happens, help is not far away.
