When Is Assisted Living Necessary?
Assisted living is an excellent option for seniors who are experiencing difficulty managing daily tasks on their own but do not require intensive medical care or constant supervision. It may be time to consider assisted living if:
- There is a growing difficulty with tasks such as dressing, bathing or cooking.
- The individual is experiencing increased forgetfulness, particularly regarding medications.
- A need for greater social interaction and engagement is evident.
- Concerns about safety at home, such as frequent falls or difficulty moving around, are rising.
