What is Assisted Living?

Assisted Living is a special combination of housing and personalized supportive services designed for older adults who may require some assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL), such as bathing, dressing, transferring, but who do not need skilled nursing care. The goal is to promote maximum independence, freedom of choice, privacy and dignity. Professional assistance by a Wellness staff member is tailored to each individual’s needs.
