Q: What is assisted living?

A: Assisted living communities offer a lifestyle for older adults that’s fairly unique; it not only provides security and peace of mind of coordinated support, but opportunities for engaging in social events, outings, affinity groups, wellness support and friendship. A common response from many who move into assisted living is, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” Those choosing assisted living can be relieved of yard care, home service coordination, cooking meals, house upkeep and overall stress from day-to-day home ownership, as well as allowing them to take advantage of what he/she really wants to be doing—enjoying life to its fullest!
