Discover Assisted Living

---

Assisted Living Facilities are types of Senior Living that provide non-medical care. These Facilities provide supervision and assistance to older adults who do not need 24 hour medical help. Care is provided in either large Assisted Living Communities or small, Residential Care Homes.

Most Assisted Living Facilities are suited for seniors who want to live independently, but need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as eating, bathing, toileting, dressing, grooming and minor house chores.

Generally, doctors and nurses are not present in Assisted Living Facilities, but they are on call when residents need their assistance. For most of the 50 states, caregivers are required by state licensing to be present at all times at the facility to supervise and assist their residents.

Is Assisted Living for Everyone?

Assisted Living is the right senior care option for seniors who do not need 24-hour medical assistance and supervision.

Activities and programs for seniors may vary depending on the actual size of the Assisted Living facility or Assisted Living community.
