Assisted Living Directory lists

Assisted Living Directory lists numerous facilities and, at times, other senior care options, organized by state, and then by city.

Assisted Living Facilities

Assisted living has emerged as a popular senior living option for those elderly people seeking a place to reside that offers medical monitoring and minor medical care while still offering personal privacy and freedom. Assisted living is licensed and regulated at the state level, which makes for a wide range of differences among assisted living communities.

An assisted living facility is a senior living option for those with minimal needs for assistance with daily living and care. It's purpose is to help adults live independently in a safe environment.
