Description
Assisted living is a term that describes a range of services that can help seniors stay independent. Many assisted living facilities provide 24-hour supervision and some also provide meal preparation, housekeeping, and laundry services. Personal care services are available for those who need help with bathing, dressing, and other daily activities.
The cost of assisted living is based on several factors, including the type of accommodations, level of care provided, location, and whether the residence is licensed for Medicare and Medicaid. Assisted living residences may be located in an apartment or home setting, or within larger retirement communities. Some assisted living facilities offer only one service level; others offer a continuum of care from independent to assisted lifestyles.
Some states have licensing requirements for assisted living facilities, but there are no federal regulations for this type of senior living. If you're thinking about using an assisted living facility to help care for your loved one in the future, it's important to consider what level of care will be required, how the costs compare with other types of senior housing and the quality of the facility.
