Assisted Living
What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living communities are designed for older adults who want to maintain their independence but could use support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, managing medications, or preparing meals. These communities offer private apartments with access to around-the-clock care, wellness programs, and social activities providing a thoughtful balance of autonomy and support.
For many families, assisted living becomes the next step when living at home is no longer safe or sustainable, but skilled nursing care isn’t yet necessary. It’s a setting that encourages connection, activity, and peace of mind for both residents and their families.
Why Families Choose Assisted Living
When you notice that your loved one is starting to struggle with daily routines or is becoming isolated at home, assisted living offers the support they need without taking away their independence. It gives you peace of mind knowing they have care when needed, along with companionship, enrichment, and safety.
Assisted living is ideal for individuals who may not need medical attention 24/7 but do need help with the details of everyday life.

Cost of Assisted Living
Assisted living costs vary based on location, size of living space, and the level of care needed. Many communities offer a base monthly rate with add-on services depending on your loved one’s needs.
Most families pay privately, but long-term care insurance or veterans’ benefits may help offset costs. Compared to in-home care or skilled nursing, assisted living can be a cost-effective and enriching choice.
