As the population of senior adults continues to grow nationwide, demand is increasing for senior-living communities and support. The following list is not comprehensive, but it is intended to present information on a number of facilities and resources in one place.
Independent living (IL): includes social activities and community spaces but sometimes no meal or medical services.
Assisted living (AL): offers everything from medical to housekeeping services. They are often included in units that also offer memory care.
Memory care (MC): facilities offer services such as reminiscence therapy that work to restore or maintain a patient’s memory.
