Assisted living facilities are constructed and designed for residents with varying levels of required personal and medical care: A resident may need assistance with managing their medication, getting dressed or bathed, have general health-related issues, or are seeking personal connection. Facilities such as this assist with daily life requirements, as well as provide a homeful setting through private suites and shared amenities. The overarching goal should be to promote independence and offer a sense of security for both the resident and family.
A newly constructed assisted living facility in Austin, Texas, will be completed in the fall of 2023. The residents will have a bedroom suite as well as access to communal dining and shared amenities. Resident needs will vary—some may require physical assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and walking, while others may have memory impairments (e.g. Alzheimer’s, dementia) or medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart disease, depression) that may require additional monitoring and/or assistance.
