Assisted Living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living (also known as ADLs).  These facilities aide in coordination of services by health care providers; and monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being.  The type of services and level of care will vary, however most communities provide assistance with meals, dressing, grooming, bathing, housekeeping, laundry, and medication supervision.  Assisted Living communities are an alternative on the continuum of care for seniors who cannot live independently, but who do not need the 24-hour medical care provided by a Nursing Home.  Assisted Living communities promote independence with the utmost dignity and bridge the gap from living at home to living in a Nursing Home.   Assisted Livings provide social interaction and companionship.  If you are interested about more information about Assisted Living communities in your area, call Adult Care Advisors Today!
