Westview Apartments - Assisted Living
What is Assisted Living? It is a form of housing for older Americans that is growing in popularity. This is in response to the aging of the population and the preference to age in a home-like environment.
The term "assisted living" is commonly used in many parts of the country, although states, organizations, and providers may use different terminology. Other names that are frequently used for these facilities are:
- Resident care
- Personal care
- Adult congregate living care
- Board and care
- Adult living facilities
- Adult homes
- Community based retirement facilities
What the residents have in common is a philosophy that includes fostering independence, treating individuals with dignity and respect, promoting individuality, protecting residents' right to privacy, and providing a safe, home-like environment.
Based on the most recent estimates, more than a million Americans live in 20,000 assisted living residences. The typical resident is a woman in her eighties and is either widowed or single.
