Assisted Living
Assisted living communities are designed for individuals who
cannot function in an independent living environment, but do not
need nursing care on a daily basis. Assisted living communities
usually offer help with bathing, dressing, meals, and housekeeping.
The amount of help provided depends on individual need. Many assisted
living facilities also have professional nurses and other health
care professionals on staff or available on call should a resident
require special care. Medicaid and Medicare cover some long-term
care offered by assisted living, and some assisted living communities
offer subsidies or other forms of financial aid on the basis of
individual need.
