People with what types of health concerns are appropriate for placement in an assisted living facility?
Assisted living is designed to serve people who are no longer able to live without support, and can serve many of the same types of people who have, traditionally, been served by nursing facilities. While individual facilities vary in their admission and retention qualities, most can serve people who are quite frail, have cognitive impairments, are incontinent, require mobility aids (walkers, wheel chairs), require special diets, require monitoring and/or assistance with medication, and those who require frequent monitoring of health conditions.
