What is an Assisted Living Community?
An assisted living community offers a comfortable, apartment-style living arrangement for seniors, typically featuring studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. These communities are designed to foster a social environment, promoting interaction among residents while providing essential support services.
Residents can enjoy restaurant-style dining, where they can socialize with neighbors during meal times, and participate in a robust activities program that includes various recreational and social events to encourage engagement and enjoyment.
Many assisted living communities also provide transportation services for residents, making it easier for them to attend doctor’s appointments, engage in outings, or participate in community activities.
Typically, assisted living communities establish a base rate for rent, which may vary based on the type of apartment chosen. In addition to the rent, there is often a level of care or point system to accommodate the varying needs of residents, from those who are mostly independent to those requiring assistance with activities of daily living. Many communities also charge a one-time community fee upon move-in.
Assisted living communities are capable of managing a wide range of care, from independent living to assistance with daily activities, and even hospice care, depending on the needs of the residents.
