The definition of assisted living varies from state to state. Basically, assisted living facilities aim to promote comfort and freedom for seniors who are still able to live independently while at the same time having a helping hand readily available. Residents have their own private spaces and are able to plan their day as they wish, all while knowing they have access to personalized assistance with daily living should they need it.
Many assisted living facilities offer homestyle prepared meals and snacks, housekeeping services, medication management, as well as activities such as games, movies, shopping trips and visits to local attractions.
