If couples wish to move into an assisted living residence, only one member needs to meet the eligibility requirements for both to move in together.
Who's not eligible?
Assisted living services are not an option for those who:
Can't make their own decisions about day-to-day activities (unless they are living with a spouse who can make decisions on their behalf)
