According to the Assisted Living Federation of America, “today assisted living is the most preferred and fastest growing long-term care option for seniors.” Assisted Living communities provide the security of a 24 hour staff that offer residents assistance with daily activities such as: bathing, toileting, dressing, grooming eating and getting around.
