I’m convinced that assisted living increased her quality & length of life. She was on the memory loss floor and participated in activities that stimulated her mind. We went to sing-a-longs, etc. Many activities to choose from. The dining staff took into account her various allergies and presented her with meal options…. Her medical, social, and every day needs were met by caring staff, and that was great peace of mind for me also.
