Why There’s No Set Age Limit
Assisted living is about providing help with daily activities (bathing, dressing, meals, medication). If someone needs this support and the community can provide it safely, they may be eligible, regardless of age.
Assisted Living Under Age 65
Adults younger than 65 sometimes live in assisted living if they have disabilities or chronic conditions requiring daily support. Admission depends on the facility’s licensing and ability to meet its needs.
Assisted Living at Advanced Ages
Residents in their 90s or even 100s often live successfully in assisted living when consistent daily support is provided. The actual limit is health, not age.
Factors That Matter More Than Age
- Ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
- Level of medical care required
- Behavioral or safety needs
- Community staffing and resources
