Assisted Living Communities respond to the fact that many older people have trouble performing some activities of daily living without help. Licensed by the state, they are designed for seniors who need regular help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, toileting, walking, medication reminders) but who do not need a nursing care facility.
Select your desired location below to view communities near you. If you are searching for an assisted living facility, it is important to know the average cost of an assisted living facility.
Assisted living facilities offer a custodial level of care for seniors with some functional impairments, either physical or cognitive. Each residential unit has an emergency call system supported by 24-hour security and staff availability. These facilities may also offer three meals a day served in a common dining room, housekeeping services, transportation, health promotion and exercise programs, medication management, personal laundry services, and social and recreational activities.
In some assisted living facilities, the basic fee covers all services. In other communities, the basic fee covers only limited services with additional charges for services on an as-needed basis. Knowing the average cost will give you a frame of reference when researching and comparing facilities.
