What is Assisted Living?
Seniors who choose assisted living enjoy a vibrant, independent lifestyle, with assistance customized to meet their personal needs. Residents enjoy a community where comfort, dignity, family connectedness and social activities are promoted. More than 1 million Americans are currently living in 36,000 assisted living communities.
Choice, Freedom and Independence
Since assisted living was first introduced in the United States more than two decades ago, seniors and their families have embraced this concept in care as the choice that enables seniors to age in an environment of their choosing with dignity, independence and respect. Assisted living is the ideal choice for seniors who need some care with activities of daily living, but don’t want or need an institutionalized environment. Because assisted living is regulated and licensed by each state, residents can enjoy the innovative care solutions and customized environments that today’s providers are creating.
