Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Living independently in the comfort of your own home may not be the safest option if you are a senior citizen requiring assistance with activities of daily living. As the ability to care for oneself declines, exploring ways to protect your quality of life without risking your health or safety is a good idea. Assisted Living, also known as personal care, offers help with everyday tasks to those with disabilities and older adults. Assisted living allows seniors to maintain their independence as much as possible while providing necessary assistance to navigating day-to-day life.  Quality of life is expected to immediately increase when a senior relocates to an assisted living community or home.
