The Benefits of Assisted Living
Designed to offer personalized care, assisted living communities (ALFs) are apartment-like settings for seniors who may need help with some of their activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management. While each community is unique in its own way, assisted living allows seniors to continue living independently, even with chronic health conditions, mild cognitive decline, or mobility issues. In addition to helping with activities of daily living, many assisted living communities to offer seniors a carefree way of living with housekeeping and laundry services, transportation, dining plans, social programs, and activity calendars.
24/7 Professional Care
Whether your senior requires help with one or several activities of daily living, assisted living staff is available 24 hours a day for each resident's unique health needs.

How Does Assisted Living Compare To Other Local Senior Living Options
There are several different senior living options available in Central Virginia. Assisted living communities fall in between independent living and a skilled nursing facility. ALFs are for those who might need help with some activities of daily living, including bathing, showering, dressing, and mobility, but can provide some of their own care.
An independent living community is for residents who don't require any help or specialized care, and a skilled nursing facility provides more medical assistance than an assisted living facility.
An assisted living facility might be the best choice if your senior is mostly independent and wants to stay that way for as long as possible.
