Our nation is experiencing a rapid growth in the 85+ population segment. With this segment, there is an increasing need for physical and mental assistance, but not to the degree of a nursing home. Assisted living is designed to meet this need and provides a natural choice to a traditional geriatric nursing home for seniors who do not require skilled nursing care.

Assisted living offers a personalized service plan for every resident. Each individual’s needs and preferences are taken into consideration. Recognition and promotion of maximum independence, choice, dignity, privacy, and autonomy are standards of assisted living.

Years ago, family was often able to care for their loved ones at home. This was possible because one family member worked in the home. Now, more primary caregivers have to work outside the home. A large number of families will try to manage both: full-time employment and full-time caregiver. This can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and health issues.

Assisted living offers the character and comfort of home combined with the right amount of assistance with daily living. Therefore, it can serve as a positive alternative to families in need of assistance. "I felt guilty when Mom moved into assisted living. But it was the right decision for both of us. She is much more active now. And the other day, we just Hung Out! It felt good to talk and laugh”. – Vivian McAnally, a caregiver for over two years. Assisted living can serve as a partner to families in meeting the challenges of life.
