If you or a loved one are finding it challenging to manage daily tasks like taking medications, bathing, getting dressed, moving around the house, or running errands, assisted living might be a good fit. These communities offer help with everyday needs while still supporting as much independence as possible. Unlike skilled nursing facilities, assisted living doesn’t offer 24/7 medical care or constant supervision.
Assisted living communities typically provide these services:
24/7 Supervision and Support
Compassionate caregivers available around the clock to provide safety, assistance, and peace of mind.
Assistance with Daily Living Activities (ADLs)
Help with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility to promote dignity and independence.
