Assisted Living
About this resource
Assisted living provides personal care for adults who can live independently. Residents live in apartment units furnished with their own furniture and belongings. They maintain a great deal of independence and privacy, while being supported with services.

Are able to communicate and be understood by others.
Do not behave in ways that put the safety of others at risk.

Can't make their own decisions about day-to-day activities (unless they are living with a spouse who can make decisions on their behalf).
