Assisted Living Amenities

Look at the amenities and local activities available when you are looking for assisted living facilities. Ask about the availability of recreational and fitness programs. Assistive living facilities can also be tailored to meet the individual needs of residents. They provide social events, transportation, and meals.

Meals are generally included

A lot of assisted-living communities include meals in their monthly fees. If residents prefer, they can order additional meals. These meals are usually priced per plate and can be a good choice for residents who have family and friends visiting. Residents can also order online or at their favorite local eatery if they prefer to order in.

Although many seniors can still cook for their families, some prefer to have a chef make their meals. You can choose from a range of meal plans, and assisted living facilities can even accommodate special diets. For example, seniors may prefer a low-sodium diet. The meal plan should allow for flexibility to accommodate the individual needs.

Transport is available

Many assisted living communities offer transportation services. These services are designed to help seniors stay independent and active. Some services offer scheduled bus service, while others provide town cars or on-demand rides. Note, though, that these services do not necessarily include an escort or caregiver. Many facilities offer transportation to and fro the doctor's office, as well as other medical appointments.


Transportation services are vital for assisted living facilities. A majority of residents will need regular medical visits and may need to shop occasionally. This is a great way for residents to get out of their routines and socialize.

Assisted living communities offer personalized care that meets the individual needs of residents

Aside from providing the standard daily activities, assisted living communities also offer personalized care that caters to the specific needs of each resident. They can schedule meals and accommodate special diets. These communities might coordinate with specialists to coordinate medication delivery. Many of these communities offer transportation services and other activities.

Some assisted living communities even offer 24/7 care, ensuring that residents remain comfortable and independent. Many communities have on-site healthcare and adopt an aging–well model. Grand Oaks residents can access the Johns Hopkins Wellness Program or Sibley Memorial Hospital. The residents also have access other medical services and amenities such as a swimmingpool, therapeutic and rehabilitation programs, and more.
