<h2>Helping you understand your options with our complimentary online senior living needs assessment</h2>
In generations past, the only residential care option for aging adults was a nursing home, otherwise known as a skilled nursing facility. However, these facilities are typically for aging adults who have more serious or extreme medical needs that require ongoing attention. Today, many aging adults don&rsquo;t need the level of care associated with that of a nursing home. In recent years, a new option has emerged &ndash; the senior living community. These communities offer homelike environments that cater to both healthy aging adults, and those that need some assistance. A senior living community not only offers a safe and comfortable place to live, but it provides an all-encompassing lifestyle where residents can also connect and socialize with others. In addition, communities may come equipped with amenities, such as a cafe, pub, theater, fitness center, library, beauty salon, community store, and much more. As you explore different senior living communities, you&rsquo;ll find a number of options, and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://hubs.la/Q02GnVvw0" target="_blank" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://tools.roobrik.com/brightview/seniorliving/start?utm_campaign=Roobrik&amp;utm_source=Insight%2520Article&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_term=Blog&amp;utm_content=Is%2520now%2520the%2520time%2520for%2520senior%2520living%253F&amp;hubspotutk=d6921adf44a224c16c54cde940f304c8&amp;wc_client_current=&amp;__ss_tk=&amp;roobrikutk=qjufDUHS45PQb-Vpv-wfN-MNRuz2vKXpfHey7apmOw0" aria-label="our complimentary senior living needs assessment can help you better understand which are the best options for you and your family - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" uw-rm-external-link-id="https://tools.roobrik.com/brightview/seniorliving/start?utm_campaign=roobrik&amp;utm_source=insight%2520article&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=blog&amp;utm_content=is%2520now%2520the%2520time%2520for%2520senior%2520living%253f&amp;hubspotutk=d6921adf44a224c16c54cde940f304c8&amp;wc_client_current=&amp;__ss_tk=&amp;roobrikutk=qjufduhs45pqb-vpv-wfn-mnruz2vkxpfhey7apmow0$ourcomplimentaryseniorlivingneedsassessmentcanhelpyoubetterunderstandwhicharethebestoptionsforyouandyourfamily">our complimentary senior living needs assessment can help you better understand which are the best options for you and your family</a>.

Here are three common options offered to seniors, often within the same community:

Active adults who need relief from yard work, snow shoveling, home maintenance, or house cleaning may consider an independent living community. These communities offer a newfound freedom of maintenance-free living combined with the added convenience of everyday amenities. They have full-service teams of associates who handle and maintain interior and exterior maintenance, on-site transportation, housekeeping, laundry service, and security. A dining plan is typically included, and apartments also have full kitchens in case you like to cook for yourself. And, if you later find that you need some assistance, you are able to access those services without having to move from the community.
<a href="https://hubs.la/Q02GnXJr0" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.brightviewseniorliving.com/en/Types-of-Living/Assisted-Living" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ASSISTED LIVING</a> 
Assisted living is designed for the senior who wants to live in a private apartment but may need a helping hand with certain daily living activities, such as taking medications, dressing, or bathing. Since each resident&rsquo;s needs are unique, tailored assistance is offered to encourage and empower the resident to live as independently as possible. Additional services include maintenance, housekeeping, scheduled transportation, and three meals a day.

Dementia care communities provide services to those seniors with forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease, or other memory impairments. These communities offer apartments specifically designed to make a resident feel like they never left home. Around-the-clock supportive services reinforce dignified living by providing a secure and safe &ldquo;village&rdquo; environment, and common areas encourage social interaction that foster a sense of belonging for the resident. Fun, intellectually stimulating on-site activities include music, art, cooking, gardening, exercise, and more. Many communities also extend support and hold educational programs aimed to help family members understand the impact of memory loss.
