Q: What is assisted living?
A:Assisted living is designed for people that need some assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) but wish to live independently for as long as possible.
Assisted living residents are not able to live by themselves but do not require constant care. Residents can receive help with tasks such as eating, bathing, dressing, laundry, housekeeping, and medications. Assisted living bridges the gap between independent living and nursing homes.
Although assisted living is not an alternative to a nursing home, it is an intermediate level of long-term care that is appropriate for many seniors.
Upon admission, Lutheran Homes Society creates a unique service plan for each resident. The plan details the personalized care services the resident requires and is updated regularly so residents receive appropriate care as their assistance needs change.

Q: What happens when care needs exceed the services available in assisted living?
