Assisted Living

These services are designed for adults who qualify for nursing home care and can no longer manage independent living in their own homes.  Assisted living facilities provide a wide variety of support services based on the specific needs of the resident, such as:

• Nursing Care and Personal Care
• Nutrition and Homemaker Services
• Medication Management

Residential Care Services

Residential care services provide support for adults who qualify for care in residential settings.  Residential care facilities are community-based settings that allow for maximum individual independence and are tailored to individual needs.  Often these settings are appropriate for frail seniors and adults with disabilities who need more personal assistance and supervision than possible with care at home.  Some of the available Adult Residential Care Services are listed below.

• Meal and Homemaker Services
• Personal Care and Individually Tailored Supports
• Adult Day and Nursing Care
• Socialization

• Meals and Homemaker Services
• Personal Assistance and Nursing care
