Is Assisted Living Right For Your Mom or Dad?

Assisted living is a term that may mean a variety of alternative services in the senior housing industry. The term can be used, for example, to describe a residential home with 4-6 beds operated by a live-in caregiver or it can describe one of the facilities within a much larger campus where an individual can age in place and select (and pay for) a variety of services that are required as the person ages.

All or some meals are generally provided, transportation to shopping and appointments is available, periodic cleaning, laundry, medication management, bathing and a variety of social activities make assisted living a preferred choice for many aging individuals. Assisted living is a good option for someone who wishes to retain their independence but needs some oversight. You will need to do some homework in order to make a good match between your parent’s needs and the available facilities.
