What You Can Expect in Assisted Living
Assisted Living Offers Support and Freedom
Just what is the assisted living lifestyle like? If you fear your days will be boring or lonely, you have a wonderful surprise coming to you: today’s assisted living is filled with companionship, activity, wellness and more. It’s just the right mix of assistance and freedom!
What to Expect in Assisted Living
In assisted living, you have the best of both worlds: you receive the level of personal assistance that is right for you—from an occasional helping hand, to full support with activities of daily living such as dressing, grooming, dining, medication management, and more—to a fulfilling, comfortable lifestyle.
The goal of assisted living is to help you remain independent so you can continue to enjoy an engaging, purposeful life. Care may be included in the monthly rental fee, or provided on an à la carte basis where you choose how much help you want and need.
You Will Have Lots of Choices
The assisted living lifestyle offers multiple opportunities to engage with others and connect with the world around you, through activities, programs, outings, classes, entertainment, exercise and other group events. You maintain your privacy; knowing you can participate as you choose.
You Will Have Easy Access to Everything You Need
Trade the hassle of driving and take advantage of scheduled transportation to appointments, grocery stores, and sites of interest. Enjoy delicious, chef-prepared dining that caters to your dietary requirements and is served in a pleasant atmosphere with good friends and good conversation. Keep looking smart with a salon/barbershop on premises.
You Will Have More Time to Enjoy it All
Imagine the convenience of a homelike setting with none of the responsibility! No more worries of home upkeep, cooking, cleaning or yard maintenance. Instead, have more free time to make new friends, socialize, explore new passions, reconnect with friends and family, and get the most out of each day.
