Advantages Of Assisted Living

1.) There are many advantages of assisted living and why it is a growing trend. One advantage that the books talks about is how this options allows the elderly people to be independent. They have their own apartment, were the staff may assist them in various ways. Another advantage is from the book when it comes to assessments. The purpose of assisted living is to help the older adults maintain their physical and psychological functions that they had, before moving into the assisted living facility. The elderly patients still get to keep their agency and control. From this the social workers give the elderly patients intake assessments to see were the areas in which the patients are weak to give them some additional services to help them.
