If you would like to maintain your independence, but you require a bit of help on a daily or weekly basis, perhaps an assisted living facility (ALF) would be an excellent compromise.
An ALF is neither a nursing home, which offers full medical care, nor an independent living center, which exists as a senior community with amenities but no services.
Rather, an ALF is somewhere in the middle.
While ALF centers will usually help administer medication, most do not provide full medical care.
If your own health, happiness, or well-being would be jeopardized by living alone, then an ALF is probably not the best option.
