Assisted Living
Compassionate support for everyday living.
Assisted living offers a housing and care solution for seniors who need help with daily activities but don't require constant medical attention.
Assisted living communities provide a supportive environment where seniors can maintain their independence while receiving the help they need with daily tasks. These communities offer a balance of independence and care, allowing residents to enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle with peace of mind.
What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is a residential option for seniors who need some help with activities of daily living (ADLs) — such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and meal preparation — but who do not require the intensive medical care provided in a nursing home. Residents typically live in private or semi-private apartments and have access to communal dining, social activities, and on-site staff around the clock.

Costs vary widely based on the community, level of care, and room type. In the Houston area, assisted living typically ranges from $3,000 to $7,000+ per month. Marci can help you understand all costs and identify communities that fit your budget.
Does Medicare cover assisted living?

How is assisted living different from a nursing home?
Assisted living provides help with daily activities in a residential setting, while nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide higher levels of medical care for those with complex health needs. Assisted living residents are generally more independent.
Can my loved one bring their own furniture?
Most assisted living communities encourage residents to personalize their space with their own furniture and belongings to make it feel like home. Policies vary by community.
