Care for long-term, physical non-occupational activities of daily living (ADL), such as bathing, continence, dressing, eating, housekeeping, laundry, medications, mobility, transferring in and out of bed or a chair, using the toilet, and walking. These individuals want to remain independent and do not require constant care. In most cases, the “assisted living” residents pay a regular monthly rent. Then, they typically pay additional fees for the services they receive, such as hair cuts or pedicures.
