An assisted living facility is a residential facility designed to house multiple seniors in a home-like environment. Those residing in assisted living receive personal care, meal services, transportation services, housekeeping services, around the clock staff supervision and assistance with other daily activities. Assisted living residents do not necessarily receive skilled nursing care which is generally more medically intensive. However, medication management is offered by certified medical staff. If you or your loved one needs more advanced attention, skilled nursing homes or even home care may be more appropriate options.
