What seniors and their families can expect in an assisted living community like Banyan Place

It’s morning time. You sip coffee in a rocking chair enjoying the warm South Florida breeze. Today you’ll dip your toes in the ocean for the first time in ages. You’ll be back in time tonight to play MahJong.

Your golden years are meant to be spent making memories and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. But as you age, day-to-day tasks become more of a challenge. 


Assisted living removes the burden of life’s complexities so you can spend your time doing the things you love. Find out how an assisted living community like Banyan Place in South Florida can help you or your loved one balance independence and support many seniors need as they age

The benefits of joing an assisted living community

An assisted living facility is a place of residence for older adults who need help with daily tasks. It’s a good fit for someone with balance, mobility or cognitive challenges. Caregivers will help you with things like getting dressed for the day and remembering to take your medications.


People with severe limitations who require around-the-clock care are better suited for a skilled nursing facility. If you don’t need assistance with daily tasks, but want to live somewhere that handles meals and housekeeping, independent living could be a good fit for you. 


If you find yourself somewhere in between, assisted living may be the answer. Banyan Place assisted living communities in Boca Raton and in Lantana offer:



  • 24-hour supervised care
  • Medical monitoring 
  • Assistance with daily living tasks
