Assisted living facilities are for people not requiring total care, but still needing a little extra help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, cooking, medication administration and maintaining a home. Assisted living exists to bridge the gap between independent living and traditional skilled nursing homes. Skilled nursing facilities offer 24-hour nursing care. Contact one of our eldercare specialists to help determine which type of residential living facility is best for you or your loved one.
