Assisted Living

Sort of like a dorm for seniors. Not a nursing home. Like the way high school seniors graduate into college dorms, these kinds of seniors graduate into assisted living. It usually happens when health concerns (either physical or mental) make living on their own an impossibility. Usually, meals, room cleaning, medication monitoring, activities and bathing assistance are provided. Keg stands are infrequent, but flirtation and gossip run rampant.
