What is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is often thought of as a unique combination of housing, personalized services and health care designed to meet the needs of those who require assistance with the activities of daily living. At Island City Assisted Living, we further define it as, "Peace of Mind with a Hospital Connection" It is a place where seniors can get the care they need, while living in a safe environment and participating in the things they enjoy. Seniors are encouraged to be active and to interact with family and friends.

When it is Time: A Special Note
Very few seniors can leave their family home and begin a new living arrangement without apprehension. Sometimes they adamantly resist the move. This is normal. It is also normal to feel guilty if you are the one responsible for uprooting a loved one who can no longer function comfortably and safely at home. And while there may be apprehension in the early stages of this life change, we want to reassure you, our purpose is to make assisted living so attractive and so helpful, our seniors will wish they had come to live here long before.
Before and after your loved one moves, you may be worried...
the team at Island City Assisted Living will help you adjust and stay connected.
We paint a picture of a meaningful life for seniors at Island City Assisted Living, because that is what they deserve. Each has given a lifetime of love, devotion, hard work and personal strength to arrive at this point in their journey. When we surround them with beauty and gentle care, they have much more living to do.
