What Is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is a residential care option for elderly people who can still participate in daily life but need some level of support. It sits between independent living (minimal help) and full nursing care (round-the-clock medical supervision).
In Sri Lanka, assisted living fills a critical gap. Many elderly parents are too independent for a nursing home but need more support than a family member or part-time caregiver can provide. Assisted living offers:
- Personal care assistance — bathing, dressing, grooming
- Medication reminders and management
- Meal preparation and dietary support
- Housekeeping and laundry
- Social activities and community engagement
- 24-hour staff availability for emergencies
Our Assisted Living Services
Personal Care Assistance
Our trained caregivers help with morning and evening routines, mobility support, toileting assistance, and companionship. Every resident’s care plan is personalised — some need help with just one or two tasks, while others require more comprehensive support.
Medication Management
Managing multiple medications is one of the biggest challenges for elderly individuals living alone. Our nursing staff ensure medications are administered at the correct times and dosages, prescription refills are coordinated, and side effects are monitored and reported.
Nutritious Meals Daily
Good nutrition is essential for elderly health. Our residents receive three balanced meals per day prepared fresh by our kitchen team, with dietary accommodations for diabetes, hypertension, food allergies, and other conditions.
Social Activities and Community
Isolation is one of the greatest risks for elderly people. Our programme includes group activities, gentle exercise sessions, outdoor time in our gardens, visitor-friendly spaces, and a warm social dining experience.

Who Benefits from Assisted Living?
Assisted living is suitable for elderly individuals who:
- Need help with daily tasks — bathing, dressing, or managing medications has become difficult
- Are at risk living alone — falls, wandering, cooking hazards, or isolation are concerns
- Want social interaction — they are lonely at home and would benefit from daily company and activities
- Have a family caregiver who is burning out — professional support gives families relief while ensuring quality care
- Want a safe, structured environment — with meals, housekeeping, and medical support all in one place
Assisted Living vs. Home Care vs. Nursing Home
Understanding the differences helps you make the right choice for your family:
| Option | Best For |
|---|---|
| Assisted Living | Seniors who need daily help but are otherwise stable. Offers a balance of independence, social life, and professional support. More affordable than full nursing care. |
| Home Care | Mild care needs if the family is nearby and can afford high-quality live-in help. One caregiver alone cannot provide 24/7 coverage, medical expertise, or social interaction. |
| Nursing Home | Serious medical conditions, advanced dementia, or those requiring constant medical supervision. More expensive and medically focused than assisted living. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does assisted living cost in Sri Lanka?
Fees vary based on room type and level of care required. Assisted living is more affordable than full nursing care. Contact us for a detailed fee breakdown tailored to your loved one’s needs.
Can my parent still go out and come back?
Yes. Assisted living residents who are mobile and mentally capable are free to go out with family or on outings. We just ask that we are informed for safety purposes.
What if care needs increase over time?
We regularly review care plans. If your parent’s needs increase, we can adjust the level of support or transition them to our nursing care programme without the upheaval of changing facilities.
Is assisted living suitable for someone with mild dementia?
Yes, for early-stage dementia. Our staff can provide medication reminders, supervision, and structured routines. If dementia progresses, we can transition to our dedicated dementia care programme.
How many staff are on duty at night?
We maintain 24-hour staffing at both locations. Night staff include qualified nurses and caregivers to handle any emergencies or care needs that arise.
