An assisted living residence or assisted living facility (ALF) is a housing facility for people with disabilities. These facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs); coordination of services by outside health care providers; and monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being.
Assistance may include the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services provided by a trained staff person.
Assisted living as it exists today emerged in the 1990s as an eldercare alternative on the continuum of care for people, for whom independent living is not appropriate but who do not need the 24-hour medical care provided by a nursing home and are too young to live in a retirement home. Assisted living is a philosophy of care and services promoting independence and dignity.
Within the United States assisted living spectrum, there is no nationally recognized definition of assisted living. Assisted living facilities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. More than two-thirds of the states use the licensure term "assisted living." Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include residential care home, assisted care living facilities, and personal care homes. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. Because the term assisted living has not been defined in some states it is often a marketing term used by a variety of senior living communities, licensed or unlicensed. Assisted Living facilities in the United States had a national median monthly rate of $3,500.00 in 2014, a 1.45% increase over 2013 and a 4.29% increase over a five-year period from 2009-2014.
"The dedication and passion of all the big-hearted people who choose to serve seniors is a reason why resident-centered senior living is the fastest-growing long-term services and support option in the United States. The high-quality, resident-focused care provided by these outstanding individuals and their communities is what our nation's seniors need and deserve." - Rick Grimes, President & CEO, ALFA. http://alfa.org/hero

You decide everything with your eyes.
i drink sometimes just to get by and it doesn't seem right, but it keeps me in line. you would keep your self locked up inside, i cant find the key so i don't try.
it's that way because i know it's the way you want it. and it's that way because i know it's the way you like it.
if we would just try to divide ourselves, then might find the reasons why we fight. but we just run around in circles. watch t.v. just for the commercials sometimes.
it's that way because i know it's the way you want it. and its that way because i know it's the way you like it.
watching t.v. while thinking about it. i am not so sure if i should tell you about this. i can't expect you to accept why i've kept you. must you always be so sure.
you borrow my sorrow. keep it in your head and save it for tomorrow. no one knows just why.
