Assisted living is both a housing and health care option for seniors. Assistance offered varies greatly from one facility to another. Popular benefits facilities have in common include increased socialization with peers, enhanced nutritional status and greater compliance with medication schedules. Assisted living residents need assistance with two or more activities of daily living (ADLs), such as assistance with bathing, hygiene, dressing and medications. Some assisted living facilities are licensed to perform more services than others. For instance, if licensed as a Multi Unit Assisted Living with Services, residents of the facility must be able to transport (from chair to bed, etc.) and bathe and dress themselves.
