What is Assisted Living?

What is Assisted Living? Assisted Living Information:

The Assisted Living Federation of America defines assisted living as a senior living option that combines housing, support services and health care, as needed. Assisted living is designed for individuals who require assistance with everyday activities such as meals, medication management or assistance, bathing, dressing and transportation. Some residents may have memory disorders including Alzheimer's, or they may need help with mobility, incontinence or other challenges. Residents are assessed upon move in, or any time there is a change in condition. The assessment is used to develop an Individualized Service Plan.

ALFA has a great site for family, friends and prospective residents searching for assisted living information. At ALFA.org/Family you will find answers to questions like, Who is the typical assisted living resident? What is the cost of assisted living? How is assisted living regulated? What services are offered in assisted living? What are examples of assisted living activities? And most importantly, Is Assisted Living right for myself and/or my family!? You can also use the ALFA website to search for communities near you.
