What is an assisted living facility?

An assisted living facility is a residential community designed for individuals, typically seniors, who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, but do not need the intensive medical care provided in a nursing home. These facilities offer a balance of independence and support, often providing meals, social activities, and transportation services. Residents typically live in private or semi-private apartments while benefiting from a range of services tailored to their individual needs.
