Description of service
There are many assisted living centers around, but you need to choose the best one that meets your needs. I had help in choosing one because a friend of mine already had a family member in the same center. An Assisted Living Facility provides care for seniors who need some help with activities of daily living yet wish to remain as independent as possible. A middle ground between independent living and nursing homes, Assisted Living Facilities aim to foster as much autonomy as the resident is capable of. Most facilities offer 24-hour supervision and an array of support services, with more privacy, space, and dignity than many nursing homes—at a lower cost.There are approximately 33,000 Assisted Living Facilities operating in the U.S. today. The number of residents living in a facility can range from several to 300, with the most common size being between 25 and 120 individuals.
Assisted Living Facilities are also called,Personal care homes,Residential care facilities and Domiciliary care, but they all provide the same service. That may be helpful when you are looking up information on retirement homes
Review of Service
The assisted living facility that we used for our family member was a really great place. It helped that I knew someone there who also really liked it. I would recommend it.
Tips
You can call around different facilities and ask questions and they may let you set up an appointment just to come and check the place out. That is always the best way to gain information.
