Assisted Living Communities
Assisted living communities, sometimes referred to as assisted living facilities or assisted living centers, are residential facilities which aim to provide individuals with as much autonomy as possible while providing a variety of support services to residents within a homelike setting. Services may include meals, transporation, help getting around, grooming, housekeeping and a limited number of medical services such as medication management. [1][2]
