We are in an exciting and important time for assisted living! Millions of baby-boomers are getting ready to retire (if they haven't already), and although many of these people are healthy and in great shape, there are thousands in each state who have health issues that make them require assistance in one form or another. This assistance may be simply needing help with day to day tasks such as personal hygiene, or paying bills. Maybe getting around town isn't as easy as it used to be, or help is needed with shopping for groceries.
On the more serious end, there are millions of people that have debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. These people need around-the-clock supervision, medication management, and help with just about every daily activity.
This is where an assisted living facility can help.
Assisted Living comes in many forms and settings,
with widely varying degrees of services, amenities and cost, depending
on the facility. An assisted living facility may be in a more rural
or country setting that is very home-like. On the other hand, an
assisted living facility may look more like an apartment complex,
or even a hospital. Definitions can also vary as to what assisted
living actually is, and there are different requirements for licensure
and different laws governing assisted living facilities from state
to state. 
Assisted-Living-Directory.com lists numerous facilities and, at times, other senior care options, organized by state, and then by city. We recommend that if you are looking into assisted living for yourself, or a friend or loved one, that you take ample time to research each facility thoroughly. Visiting the facility you might be interested in is also of utmost importance, as well as checking health and safety records and possible violations that have occurred with the facility.

| One of the most common questions we are asked is "What is assisted living?" | ||
|
Assisted living generally refers to living with physical assistance rather than monetary assistance. In Assisted Living facilities, residents live independently in apartment style accommodation or a residential setting that offers choices in personal care and health related services. Assisted living is essentially a senior living option that offers and combines housing, support services and health care, as needed. Some of the assistance offered may include meals, medication management or assistance, bathing and personal hygiene, dressing and transportation to and from shopping, medical, and personal appointments. Levels of care may differ depending on the assisted living facility. Some facilities may offer only basic levels of care - such as laundry, cleaning, and basic personal care. Other facilities may include help and assistance for memory disorders, Alzheimer's, and other forms of dementia. The size and location of an assisted living can vary as well. Some assisted living facilities may be located in a residential setting, and may only be able to care for under 10 residents. Other facilities are can be much larger, and may be located within a hospital or other health care facility. Some assisted living facilities may be able to accommodate hundreds of residents.
