Senior Assisted Living

Did You Know: Nursing home abuse is a widespread problem in the United States. Current reports show that 30 percent of Nursing Home and Assisted Living facilities are cited for occurrences of abuse. This number can be misleading, since most cases go unreported. Instances of abuse ranging from death, malnutrition, dehydration, medical neglect, injuries, and sexual abuse have been reported.

With this in mind, we hope to stress and emphasize that shopping around and doing solid research on any assisted living, retirement community, or nursing home is so important.

Did you know: Many assisted living facilities accept Medicare or other health plans. When considering an assisted living residence, make sure to shop around. Prices and services can vary greatly. Check into the reputation and "track record" of each facility.

Assisted Living provides housing and services to seniors that require round the clock supervision and assistance. These units are usually small, fully accessible, usually do not have cooking facilities. Additionally residents are provided assistance with daily living from trained aides. Trained and licensed staff monitor tenant medications they usually do not administer them.
