What is assisted living?
Assisted living is a long-term care option that combines resident-centered care in a residential and home-like setting. Assisted living promotes independence and freedom of choice while providing assistance and care in a warm, home-like residential setting with 24-hour staffing available to meet both scheduled and unscheduled needs.

Who would benefit from assisted living care?
Assisted living is designed for those who are at a point in their life where it has become too difficult to live alone.  These individuals may require some assistance but do not need to be in an institutional setting such as a nursing home. Individuals needing assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, meals, and more are typically the type of resident that would benefit from assisted living.

What is the difference between assisted living and nursing home care?
The primary function of a nursing home is to provide acute and long-term nursing care and services on a continuing basis in the treatment of a patient.  In other words, a nursing home is a facility designed for someone who needs slightly less care than a hospital, but does require daily health care assistance.  On the other hand, an assisted living community serves to meet the needs of adults who may require at least moderate assistance with their Activities of Daily Living (ADL's).  ADL's include bathing, dressing, mobility, transferring assistance and physical assistance with meals, toileting and incontinent care.  Additionally, assisted living is intended to provide seniors with assistance in a warm, home-like atmosphere as well as substantial social interaction with other residents and staff.

What services are provided?
Services and care are provided in a way that promotes maximum independence and dignity for residents.  Personal care services such as assistance with bathing, dressing and medication reminders are available in the privacy of one's own suite.  Assistance is given in response to each resident's individual needs in order to improve quality of life. For more detailed information on the types of care and services please visit our Assisted Living Care page.

How much is assisted living?
While costs vary, assisted living generally costs less than home health services or nursing home care.  The following factors should be considered: types of services, size of accommodation, location of community, etc.  Most assisted living residences charge monthly rates and many also have daily rates for short-term, respite stays.

How to select an assisted living community?

• Is the management experienced?
• Do they have genuine concern and respect for the residents?
• Are the residents and families happy and satisfied?
