One question that many have before moving into an assisted living facility, is what will the community be life socially? Some ask this question because they don't want to feel lonely want to be able to socialize. Others ask this question because they prefer to spend time alone reading or watching television. So what is the social life at assisted living facilities like?

All assisted living facilities are not the same and they vary widely in their approach to the social life of residents. But for most facilities, one of the top benefits is that you have choices. Seniors that may feel lonely at home have the choice to get active in social activities with the community or to have downtime alone. Assisted living gives you independents and the freedom to choice the type of social life you want to have.
