Assisted living is a long-term care option for seniors. It bridges the gap between living independently and living in a nursing home. It is a combination of independent living and care. Amenities include meals and snacks, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, activities and exercise, 24-hour staffing with personal assistance available such as bathing, dressing and medication management. Assisted Living allows elders to live as independently as possible while providing the peace of mind associated with a support team.
