Assisted Living Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies for assisted living?
Key requirements for assisted living
- Needs help with one or more ADLs (bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, mobility, toileting).
- May also struggle with IADLs (instrumental activities of daily living, such as medication management, meal prep, shopping, housekeeping, transportation or finances).
- Evaluation typically considers safety, daily functioning, and support needs.
Who is often not a good fit
- Individuals fully independent in ADLs and most IADLs (often better suited for independent living).
- Those requiring memory care or skilled nursing, instead of moderate daily support.
How do I know when I or someone I love needs assisted living?
A physician’s assessment is the best place to start. Signs that assisted living may be appropriate include:
- Difficulty with daily tasks and self-care (bathing, dressing, meals)
- Safety concerns, such as falls, medication errors or wandering
- Memory and cognitive issues that affect routines or judgment
- Social and emotional well-being declining due to isolation
- Caregiving needs becoming overwhelming
These indicators can help match you to the right senior living option or assisted living community.
