Answer
Assisted living can be described as supportive services designed to maintain maximum independence. Assistance provided with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, restroom needs, transferring (from bed to chair) and medication administration. All services focus on assistance. Our goal is not to “do for” but to “assist with” each resident’s individual needs. By emphasizing assistance we support independence and promote dignity.
