Question 1

What is assisted living?

Accepted Answer

Assisted living provides a distinct combination of individualized care, familiar surroundings and professional expertise. Residents are assured of ongoing wellness evaluations and levels of living that address their specific needs. Licensed, compassionate team members assist with activities of daily living as needed, and the many amenities and life-enriching activities are geared toward helping residents more easily enjoy what matters most to them.

Question 2

How do I know when someone needs assisted living?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to start with a physician’s assessment. Depending on the circumstances of your situation (or that of your loved one), you can match needs to the right level of assistance. When help with daily tasks is needed — taking medicines, bathing, dressing, meals, transportation and housekeeping — assisted living can be the answer. Trained professionals provide support while helping preserve an individual’s independence. Want to learn more about the differences between assisted and independent living?
