Senior Helpline and Hotline for Assisted Living

Are you considering an assisted living facility for yourself or a loved one? Assisted living is a type of senior housing available for elderly. With assisted living, residents are given aid with preparing meals, transportation, housekeeping, and nursing care. This is a form of long-term senior care.

For a senior with a lower level of care or an independent senior, assisted living provides some assistance with daily living (ADL) services, such as bathing or running errands. For a moderate level of care, a senior needs more advanced daily care. For example, seniors with dementia who need memory care can live in an assisted living facility where specialized care is provided. To find out what type of assisted living services are best for your needs, contact the Assisted Living Senior Helpline at 1-800-278-9122 today.
