What is assisted living?
Assisted living is designed for residents who may need assistance with what are known as “activities of daily living,” for example, bathing, oral care, grooming, dressing, dining, reminders about meal times and programs, as well as medication monitoring and/or supervision and assistance. These supportive services, provided by caring staff, encourage self-sufficiency and help to enhance the well-being of each resident we serve. Knowing that assisted living is available within the community provides our residents—and their families—with peace of mind.
Assisted living facilities are designed for people who need help with ADL’s (activities of daily living) but who want to live independently. Help is provided in such areas as grooming, dressing, bathing, eating, medication management, physician appointments, transportation, and other areas based on the person’s needs.
Assisted Living is a special combination of housing and personalized services designed to respond to the individual needs of those who require help with activities of daily living and health care needs. Care is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in a way that promotes maximum independence and dignity for each resident. Each resident’s individual care needs are identified and a service plan designed to support those needs. The plan is designed to enhance the independence of each resident. Assisted Living programs are based on a social model of care. This puts the resident at the center of the decision-making process.
