Assisted living helps residents remain as independent as possible while helping them with daily living activities—bathing, dressing, grooming, and more. Assisted living is based more on a “social” model than a “medical” model. This means that although these professionals will distribute medications, prepare meals, and help with incontinence management, the primary goal is to allow residents to socialize. There’s a full slate of activities available throughout the day for meaningful social interactions.
