Assisted Living

Assisted living communities are designed for individuals who cannot function in an independent living environment, but do not need nursing care on a daily basis. Assisted living communities usually offer help with bathing, dressing, meals, and housekeeping. The amount of help provided depends on individual need. Many assisted living facilities also have professional nurses and other health care professionals on staff or available on call should a resident require special care. Medicaid and Medicare cover some long-term care offered by assisted living, and some assisted living communities offer subsidies or other forms of financial aid on the basis of individual need.
