What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is a special combination of housing, personalized care and
health care designed to respond to the individual needs of those who require
help with the activities of daily living. In general, Assisted Living
provides more health-related services than an independent living retirement
home. Assisted Living offers a less expensive residential approach to
providing many of the same services that are available in a skilled nursing
facility.
Assisted Living care promotes maximum independence and dignity for each
resident and encourages the involvement of a resident's family, neighbors
and friends. Staff is available 24 hours to meet both scheduled and
unscheduled needs.
Who benefits from Assisted Living?
Assisted Living is for someone who doesn't require the services that a
nursing home provides, but does need help with the activities of daily
living. Holland Home services are tailored to meet the specific needs of
those residents who require additional support services. Residents may need
help with mobility, incontinence or bathing and dressing or may suffer from
Alzheimer's disease or other dementia related illness. Assisted Living is
appropriate for someone who is too frail to live at home or wants extra
support and interaction.

The services that are available in a Holland Home Assisted Living community include:
- Three meals a day
- Housekeeping
- Assistance with eating, bathing, dressing toileting and walking
- Access to health and medical services
