What is assisted living?

Assisted living is a residential option that combines independence with personal care support, offering seniors help with activities of daily living (ADLs) in a community setting without the intensive medical supervision of a nursing home.

How can I have the talk with my family member about a transition to assisted living?

To lead a conversation about a transition to assisted living, begin with empathy and lead with “I” statements, like “I’ve been noticing some changes that I’d like to talk with you about.” Share your observations and listen closely to their concerns. Focus on the positive impact that support and community can bring. Attend to the conversation with the understanding that the research journey is one you can take together and that this is only the first of potentially many steps.

Who benefits from assisted living?

Seniors who require assistance with daily tasks like bathing or medication management, as well as those seeking a maintenance-free lifestyle with built-in social connection and programming, thrive in assisted living.
