Assisted living covers a broad array of services and
settings. These residences offer help with everyday living
tasks and with other supportive services, while allowing the
resident to maintain autonomy, independence, and safety in
homelike setting. A hallmark of assisted living is the
attitude of “we will help you take care of yourself.” While
not everyone is a candidate for an assisted living
residence, these facilities can offer an alternative to home
care or skilled care for the appropriate resident. Please
