ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- There are many assisted living myths and Hillside Terrace is trying to clear up some of these common misconceptions.

Fact: Retirement community living actually promotes independence by having the support of caregivers available if needed.

Myth #2: Assisted Living is too expensive.

Fact: While the price tag may seem high for assisted living, when you add up expenses for older adults, you'll discover the price is comparable and sometimes cheaper than maintaining your home.

Myth #3: Assisted living communities are depressing.

Fact: Assisted living communities are vibrant, attractive places to live.

Myth # 4: Family should care for their elders at home.

Fact: Caregiving can strengthen or weaken your relationship with your loved one, bring added stress, and may cause negative health effects.

Myth #5: Assisted Living is just another way to say nursing home.

Fact: Nursing homes and assisted living (https://www.hillsideterrace.net/learnmore/how-does-assisted-living-ann-arbor-support-seniors) centers are often thought of as the same, however, their care options are much different.
