Housing - Assisted Living Facilities

 
 
Administrator log in   "We moved to Five Oaks when Harold got sick. That was a good move. I could take care of him, but I didn’t have to worry about cooking. I had someone to call on if he fell or needed help in the middle of the night."

 
 

     Assisted-living facilities offer studio and one-bedroom apartments where limited assistance with medication and housekeeping is available. Meals are provided in a central dining facility. Non-medical help is usually available 24 hours a day (in case of a fall, for instance). A nurse may or may not be on the premises. Assisted-living facilities work well for individuals who are moderately self sufficient or who have a family member or paid caregiver to handle more-intensive caregiving needs.
     The costs of an assisted-living facility are not covered by Medicare. For more information about this and other types of care available, see our article about Getting Help.
