For someone considering moving into an assisted living or memory care facility, there are many considerations to discuss. One of the most important is defining who is a good candidate for professional assisted living support services.

Who is a good candidate for assisted living

Determining if assisted living is right for your loved ones can be an overwhelming decision. Here are a few questions to consider during this time:

• Can the potential assisted living resident walk around on their own without much help?


• Does the potential assisted living resident have a chronic condition or require insulin?


• Does the potential assisted living resident require medical attention on an on-going basis?


• Does the potential assisted living resident require rehabilitation for post-surgical procedures?


• Does the potential assisted living resident have early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s?

Depending on level of care needed, each assisted living resident has the ability to select specific services to help them day-to-day. When considering the future of long-term care for you or your loved one, research is a vital component.
