Assisted Living Committee

Assisted living provides a housing and personal care option for seniors who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, and medication management, but don't require 24/7 skilled nursing care. These communities offer a balance of independence and support, with personalized care plans, social activities, and amenities like dining, housekeeping, and transportation. (Source: Google AI)
