What is an assisted living facility?
An assisted living facility is a type of living arrangement in which personal care services such as meals, housekeeping, help with bathing, and assistance with activities of daily living are provided. Assisted living fills the gap between home care and a skilled nursing home. We at Love & Care are committed to providing the best possible service at the lowest rates in the area. An important aspect of our care is to provide security, comfort, and a lot of love. We try very hard to live up to our name.
