Assisted living is the most common starting point in senior care: a residential community for seniors who need help with two or three activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, medication management, mobility) but don't need round-the-clock medical care. The resident has a private apartment, eats meals in a shared dining room, and gets the level of care their assessment indicates. It's also the most variable category in pricing and quality.
State licensing rules differ widely, the term "assisted living" covers everything from a converted six-bedroom house to a 200-resident high-rise, and the difference between a great community and a mediocre one is staff retention - which doesn't show up on a tour. Our assisted-living coverage focuses on what families should actually ask, how to read a resident-care assessment, what's typically included in the base rate versus added as a fee, and how to spot a community that's understaffed before signing a lease.
