An assisted-living facility provides help to seniors, with activities of daily living.

Most people think that we do wills, trusts and power of attorneys. Although, we do prepare estate planning documents, the major focus for Senior Life Care Planning, is to provide advocacy care services

The idea of Assisted Living is tremendously appealing – an older individual receiving necessary care and services in a home-like environment, while retaining choice and autonomy.

However, momentum toward Assisted Living, should not lead one to assume that Assisted Living is always the right choice, or that any and all health care conditions can be accommodated within Assisted Living.

How Do You Take Care of Mom – Long Distance
