Alexandria, VA - The model for person-centered long term care can be
found in assisted living communities according to testimony submitted
recently to the US Senate Special Committee on Aging.
"Assisted living is a philosophy of care that embraces choice,
independence and the opportunity for seniors to live enriching lives
with dignity, respect and privacy," said Richard Grimes, the President
and CEO of the Assisted Living Federation of America, in testimony on
the need and value of person-centered long term care for American
seniors.
The nation's leading assisted living association told the
Committee that assisted living has become the fastest growing long term
care option in the United States because it puts the individual first.
