It’s important to be realistic about what Assisted Living provides – these are some aspects to consider:
- A move to Assisted Living for someone who has been struggling with navigating living in their single-family home or condo can be transformative.
- Assisted Living support is intermittent, not one-on-one. Assisted Living provides specific support for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, transferring/moving, and eating., and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) such as medication management, meals, and housekeeping.
- If health or condition changes, and a resident needs more assistance, consideration of a move to a higher level of care will likely be necessary to ensure safety.
- Comforting to know that trained, skilled staff provide support and oversight.
