Assisted living is a type of living option for people who need help with everyday tasks, like getting dressed or taking medicine on time. It's like living in an apartment or a house, but there are staff members who help with those tasks and other activities. Assisted living can also provide support for physical needs, like help walking, or for mental needs, like providing company for meals or to share activities. It can be a great option for people who need a little extra help but still want to be independent.
