Assisted living is one kind of senior care that delivers residents support with activities of daily living (ADLs). Residents in assisted living can expect to receive support with ADLs that involve bathing, dressing, medication management, meals and more. Not to be confused with a skilled nursing community where residents receive nursing services night and day, residents in assisted living routinely have access to staff 24 hours a day while also enjoying engaging activities and a strong sense of community. In some cases, assisted living communities have support for seniors with particular medical requirements such as cognitive impairment from Alzheimer s disease or a related form of dementia, diabetes, or incontinence care.
Deciding which kind of senior care you or your family member needs is a difficult decision. To make certain you are selecting the proper level of care, consult with a medical professionall.
