For those unable to give the care and attention needed, assisted living facilities could be an excellent option to consider. This helpful video has Sofia Amirpoor discussing everything to know about these facilities to help make the right decision.
An assisted living facility, as stated in the video, is “halfway between your own home and a nursing home.” Residents live in a home environment while getting the assistance and professional care they need. Rest assured that they’re in good hands as these facilities, which are located in most states, are licensed and regulated to adhere to a standard of care. Some quick facts to know:
Residents — 20 – 200
Building — 1 – 3 stories high, or even high-rise apartment buildings
