“Assisted living offers a level of safety and security as well as peace of mind for families,” says Niki Gewirtz, who served in leadership roles at assisted living communities for over a decade before joining A Place for Mom. “So they’ll have around-the- clock caregivers, nursing oversight, and assistance with personal care needs that seniors may need on a daily basis that keep them from being able to live at home safely.” Seniors in assisted living can also expect nutritious meals, a wide range of social activities to cater to a variety of interests, and a sense of community. What are the benefits of assisted living? While each community is different, assisted living offers services and amenities to focus on important aspects of senior wellness, including physical health, intellectual stimulation, and social connection. These three foundational pillars help slow cognitive decline and keep seniors healthier and happier longer.
