is a special combination of housing and support
services that provide residents help with many
activities of daily living. This help includes
such things as administration of medications,
preparation of meals, assistance with bathing,
dressing and other personal activities. Assisted
Living allows a number of senior adults who might
like a little help with daily living to enjoy
a very comfortable and highly rewarding lifestyle
in an elegant community of friends.

 |
Our Community is not the same as a skilled
nursing (or "nursing home") community. Skilled
nursing communities provide more intensive levels of
medical and nursing services for the benefit of persons
with acute medical requirements. Today, many senior
adults' needs can be happily met in Assisted Living
communities, because such communities provide a caring
and affordable environment that nurtures an independent
lifestyle, while offering around-the-clock individually-tailored
professional assistance and assurance just in case a
serious medical problem should arise.
