Choosing an assisted-living facility
EAR SAVVY SENIOR: Can you tell me about assisted-living facilities and how to go about choosing one for my 83-year-old mother? - Need Assistance DEAR NEED: Assisted-living facilities have become a popular option for elderly people who are no longer able to live independently but who don't need nursing home care either. Here's what you should know. Currently, there are more than 1 million residents living in around 36,000 assisted-living facilities nationwide. While there's no standard blueprint for how these facilities are constructed, the services they typically provide are 24-hour staffing, assistance with personal care (bathing, dressing, eating, going to the bathroom), meals, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, social activities and medication management. A growing number of facilities also offer special care units for residents with dementia.
