What Do Assisted Living Facilities Offer?
How Do You Choose the Best Assisted Living Facility?
Start by choosing where you want to live, and determine what facilities are located close by. Visit the facility and talk to staff members and other residents to see what it has to offer and if the cost is within your budget. You may also ask for referrals from your primary care physician or from friends and family members who’ve had experience with local assisted living communities.
