The Benefits of Assisted Living
Care, Community, and Comfort
We've discussed in-depth how to know if you’re ready for senior living, what emotional benefits can come from it, and the process of choosing a senior living community. Now, it’s time to discuss the concrete benefits of Assisted Living: care, community, and comfort.
Increased Care and Safety:
Caregivers and LPN’s/Med Techs are available in the community 24 hours a day for Assisted Living/Personal Care and Memory Care only. Based on your individual care plan, they can aid with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, laundry, housekeeping, meals, medication management, transportation, and reminders. Apartments are equipped with an emergency alert response system and you can use a wearable pendant to alert staff if you need assistance.
