Assisted Living Resources

New Assisted Living Resource Guides

Free, easy-to-use resource guides will help staff and managers create environments that encourage independence, choice and control for their residents, and will help residents and family members make changes to maximize residents’ autonomy and create a lifestyle that is more “like home” for residents.

Assisted living has become an attractive option for seniors because of its promise to allow them to have control over their lives and to have the ability to remain in a residence, even when they need more care. But this promise is hard to achieve. These resource guides will be an invaluable tool for your staff, ombudsman volunteers, the seniors and their families you serve, and the assisted living staff you work with to achieve the promise of assisted living.  

·        The Guide For Assisted Living Managers helps managers make their management vision a reality, by providing practical tips and case studies that help staff meet residents’ needs and overcome typical obstacles.

·        The Guide For Assisted Living Direct Care Staff is a unique resource that recognizes that staff members know the residents the best and can implement changes to create the most satisfying environment for the residents.

·        The Guide For Current Residents helps people already in assisted living assess whether their residence meets their expectations and suggests ways to work with staff and other residents to make it better.
