Senior Care Resources
 
            At some point in their life, many older adults will need some type of senior care. Health challenges such as reduced mobility, complicated medication schedules, and reduced vision can make it unsafe for the adult to continue to live independently. What first comes to mind for many people is nursing homes, assisted living can be a better option for seniors who need some assistance in their day-to-day lives but do not need regular medical care. 
 
Assisted living is a long-term residential care option designed for older adults who need some help with activities of daily living and support in their other daily tasks. Assisted living facilities offer residents assistance with their daily activities and the security of around-the-clock staff. At the same time, residents are able to remain as independent as they please. This makes assisted living a good fit for many seniors who are beginning to have health challenges. 
 
Assisted living falls somewhere between an independent living community and a skilled nursing facility in terms of the level of care provided. This is a great option for those who need some assistance but can still live somewhat independently.
