What Is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is a form of long-term care for older adults who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, or managing medications—but don’t require constant medical supervision. These communities combine housing, personal support, and limited health services in a social, community-style environment.
Everyday Tasks (ADLs) That Assisted Living Help With
Along with personal care, many communities also provide on-site healthcare services like medical monitoring and therapy, as well as engaging social programs and recreational activities to support mental and emotional well-being.
Assisted living sits between independent living and nursing home care. It’s ideal for older adults who need more support than they can get at home or in an independent living setting, but who don’t require the round-the-clock medical care provided in a nursing home.
