According to the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living, 800,000 individuals live in assisted living facilities across the United States. Many of our Silver Birch residents often choose assisted living to take advantage of the enhanced quality of life for seniors, excellent care and compassionate attention found in our tailored senior living communities.
To bolster the quality of life and foster independence, assisted living facilities are focused on services and amenities that help our residents with activities of daily living. Research shows the most common activity of daily living that residents need assistance with are bathing, walking and dressing.
If you or your loved one are trying to decide if an assisted living facility is a good fit here are a few ways assisted living facilities enhance the quality of life for seniors.

Our restaurant-style dining rooms encourage others to eat meals together and promote community. We also support medication management for our residents with medication delivery and reminders from our experienced staff.
