What Is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is a type of residence that provides care for adults who need help with basic daily activities of living. You may also hear these facilities referred to as residential care, long-term care, supportive living, or extra-care communities. Assisted living communities help residents maintain as much independence as possible while getting the additional care they need, offering a rich calendar of social activities and providing services that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. They also offer peace of mind to residents and their families thanks to around-the-clock caregiving.
There are many benefits to assisted living:
- On-site therapy and medical care so residents always have help when they need it.
- Medication management to promote optimal health outcomes.
- Individualized help with daily needs while maintaining autonomy and independence.
- Frequent opportunities for social engagement and building personal connections.
- Assistance with everyday errands and chores so residents are free to enjoy their time.

- Healthcare provider evaluation outlining the level of care needed, current medications, diagnoses, and immunizations.
- Proof of a recent tuberculosis test, often obtainable through your local pharmacy.
- Power of Attorney, living will, and advance directives so caregivers are aware of financial and medical preferences should they need to make decisions on the resident’s behalf.
