Can You Come and Go in an Assisted Living Facility?

According to the National Center for Assisted Living, there are over 835,000 residents in assisted living communities nationwide. A common misconception is that assisted living facilities are locked-down environments, but the truth is that residents can generally come and go as they please. This freedom is balanced with community policies and individual care plans to ensure safety and well-being, especially for residents with memory impairments.
