Assisted Living Facilities may not be what you think. In fact, many are like 5 star hotels.

When it comes to leaving your home and residing in a retirement home most people would rather stay at home. However, today's retirement homes, or Continuing Care and Assisted Living Facilities may not be what you think. In fact, many are like 5 star hotels.

The assisted living facilities offer full service amenities such as laundry, housekeeping, transportation, onsite dining, and entertainment. The best part is that many of these services are all inclusive.

Many seniors value their freedom, but for reasons beyond their control they can no longer care for themselves. Therefore, simple household chores like cooking, cleaning and laundry can become overwhelming for aging seniors. Consequently, seniors living alone can pose a safety risk for themselves. Therefore, moving to an assisted living may be the only option to keep an aging loved one safe.

Most assisted living facility residents can expect basic care taking needs like cooking, housekeeping, and laundry. Additionally, the assisted living communities will provide extra care such as bathing, dressing, toileting, medication management and mobility assistance, for an extra fee. An aging senior can have all their needs meet, while still maintaining their independence.
