Assisted living is one type of senior care that delivers residents support with activities of daily living (ADLs). Residents in assisted living should expect to get 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 personnel 24 hours per day while likewise enjoying engaging activities and a solid sense of community. Occasionally, assisted living communities provide support for seniors with certain medical needs such as cognitive impairment from Alzheimer s disease or a related form of dementia, diabetes, or incontinence care.
Deciding what type of senior care you or your family member needs is definitely a complicated decision. To make sure you are selecting the proper level of care, consult with a medical professionall. You can also call our Senior Living Advisors who are ready to answer any of your inquiries and help you select a senior care community that meets your needs.
Amenities and services offered in assisted living may differ greatly in each community. Generally, most communities provide a range of housing styles, meal plans, transportation, and more.

Touring several communities can help you discover what options can be found, what your own preferences are, and will ultimately help you make a decision. Phone or contact A Place for Mom and we’ll help you setup a tour at your preferred community.
Here are a few of the top questions you’ll want to be ready to ask throughout your tour:

Medicare has four primary parts:
Medicare covers medically necessary skilled care at a nursing home only when you need short-term skilled care for an illness or personal injury and you meet certain conditions. To find out about Medicare benefits, download A Place for Mom s Medicare Resource Guide.
