About Assisted Living
Assisted living is senior housing for older adults and seniors who lead active lifestyles but may need medical or other types of support. Assisted living offers residents assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, eating, and more.

Assisted living facilities operate based on a social model of care; residents are as independent as possible with support from staff.
