Assisted living is a residential option for seniors who require assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This type of living arrangement provides a safe and secure environment for seniors while promoting independence and socialization. Assisted living facilities are designed to meet the unique needs of older adults who do not require the level of care provided in a nursing home but still need assistance with certain tasks.

In an assisted living facility, residents have access to 24-hour support and care services, including help with personal care, medication management, and general supervision. These facilities typically offer a range of amenities and services such as housekeeping, meals, transportation, and various social and recreational activities to enhance the quality of life for residents.

Assisted living can be a viable option for seniors who value their independence but may need assistance with certain tasks. It allows them to maintain a sense of control and privacy while still having access to the support they need. The goal of assisted living is to provide a balance between independence and assistance, enabling seniors to live fulfilling lives in a supportive environment.
