What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cuba
Cuba, Missouri, is in the central part of the state next to Historic Route 66. It's known as the Mural City for the dozen historical murals depicting the history of the region. It's a small community, with just 3,300 residents, 16% of whom are aged 65 and older. Many of these individuals will transition into assisted living accommodations, designed to help seniors retain independence with a little compassionate help where needed.
In Cuba, Assisted living communities, as they are called throughout Missouri, are licensed and regulated by the state's Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS). Cuba has three assisted living facilities to accommodate its seniors.
