What Is Assisted Living? Living in an assisted living center or community is a lot like living in a private apartment. The advantage of an assisted living center is that trained staff is always on hand to help your loved ones, whenever necessary. Living in such a community offers a high level of independence and security. It’s a good choice for senior members of the family who don’t require constant monitoring by medical personnel, yet still might need some help with daily tasks.

How Are Assisted Living Centers Different Than Nursing Homes? A nursing home offers constant monitoring and treatment for specific conditions or diseases. It’s designed to house and help individuals who have health conditions requiring the constant availability of medical personnel. Assisted living does not provide this level of medical care. If you believe assisted living is the right choice for your loved ones, then contact us to learn more about our elderly moving services and ask for a free estimate.

What Activities Are There? Assisted living communities provide plenty of opportunities for social interaction. They offer a variety of activities, including social parties, exercise groups, movie nights, musical entertainment and more. Most meals are provided in a community dining room, so your loved ones can socialize with their fellow community members.
